He or She is pleasing
or pleasurable superficially
“Don’t be one, My child.”
Mind the eye candy
they are visual images
attractive and entertaining
but of little benefit to the mind
Full of such candy are major media
In movies they are superfluous,
and pleasant, but contribute
nothing vital to the plot
I am precious in His sight
I was bought at a price
not for my mind, my body
my clothes, and my intellect
He paid the price
He came down to earth
from heaven above
and bought me with His own blood
How much He treasures me
I’m valuable in His eyes
I wonder with amazement
Someone like me how could He love
I want to be a light
I want my life to shine
that the world will see
and know His saving grace
Yes, I may feel tarnished
worn, old , out of touch
Even so, He loves me
Certainly, this is good news
Though my heart can grow cold
When I remember I am His
and He is mine; I’m encouraged
by His love, mercy and sacrifice

I'm guessing this is your writing, Caleb. I can tell you really enjoy poetry!
Stanza One was confusing to me. Is the candy or the child pleasing.
The first three stanzas talked about candy, but I wasn't sure how the last four paragraphs fit the topic.
It is exciting to see you develop as a writer.
