This is genius. I'd nominate if I could. Give it a once over, there's a few grammatical errors, a "their" that should be "they're," but that's all just polish. Get it? Polish? Anyway, the message is beautiful, regardless of the cover.

Another inspiring piece Scott.

I know that "never judge a book by its cover" is a very popular saying, but you've showcased beautifully what that really means here ... the true story of a person lies beneath the shiny (or not) facade that we can see.
But I also felt that by using 'mirrors' in your poem, you're also touching on how we judge ourselves by what we see in the mirror?
I really enjoyed this :-)

And beauty only wears a grin,
Every now and then.

By far one of the best worded sentences I've read in a while. I really like this poem, its very heartwarming and touching.

Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be under a poor coat.

Well penned Scott.

Flow, rhythm, word choice.. Everything.
Glad to see it is nominated.

LOVE this. Well done!

Beautiful written. Beauty comes from within. All the best
