But ’tis appearances that draw the eyes,
So care is taken by the wise…
A coat that chooses to live with the pigs
Will find its character is smeared with brown,
Its reputation falling down…
A coat may not be graded on its smell,
But ’tis the smell that drives its friends away
And keeps its closest ones at bay…
A coat associating with the landfill
Will find a nasty odor hanging ’round,
And ask where all its friends are bound…
A coat may not be graded on its looks,
But all perceive a coat that’s freshly cleaned,
The care that’s taken clearly seen…
A coat that chooses to make streams its friend
Will find its marks are gone, without a trace,
And all will see the work of grace…
A coat may not be graded on its smell,
But ’tis the smell that makes your friends draw near
And adds to how the coat appears…
A coat that dances blithely in the roses
Will gather dreams of fragrance in its wings,
And cause the weary hearts to sing…
