What do you think this poem is about?

A Beautiful Heart

Beautiful Girl
Beautiful Heart
The two don't always go together
Neither, necessarily apart

A beautiful girl
You might come across every day
and you might feel an attraction
We're wired that way

But in time you know
what others eventually learn
It's a beautiful heart
that's better to earn

Because beauty only goes so far
and is skin deep
But a beautiful heart
is forever to keep

And long after beauty has faded
she'll likely remain jaded
Vanity in its place remains
seeking approval and gains

But a beautiful heart
grows in its grace
and gracefulness is its own beauty
and puts a smile on your face

When you see the eyes
and you look deep inside
you can see many things
that some may hide

A beautiful heart
is so hard to find
Treasure above priceless art
Inspire me to be kind

One special girl
will remind you of both
Beauty and a beautiful heart
and you'll gravitate to her from the start

She'll play on your soul
and she'll stay gentle on your mind
and you find yourself dreaming
'I wish somehow she was mine'

But of the two if you could so choose
a bet on which you can never lose
Choose the beautiful heart
Because that heart will melt away your blues

A beautiful heart will increase your joy
and increase your hope
and make you feel like a man
More than just a toy

If you find a girl with a beautiful heart
Give her love from the very start
Treat her kind and with dignity and care
and for you, she'll always be there

    I wouldn't disown beauty even if it did't outlast a beautiful mind. The joy of laying eyes on a beautiful face does enrich life too. But of course, if heirarchy were to be considered, a mind trumps mere face.

    Briiliant, most people don't look past the outside of a person. they see a beautiful girl and think that's all they need, and they don't stop to look at there heart or there brain or anything but there eye's and there body(that really ticks me off)

    But a beautiful heart

    This is written with appeal and tenderness - - and the subject chosen is one of the best - - beautiful hearts are the rarest but the most treasured finds - -and to understand this needs a heart that resonates with beauty - - which you, dear poet friend must certainly have..... a fine verse which deserves all the tens.....10 + ++ from Fay, with greetings from Cornwall U.K.

    Presents are meant to be unwrapped, the cover will never reveal content
    Life is the biggest gift of all... it lies deeper... beauty lies deeper..
    Wonderful poem!
