True Value

All that glitters is not gold
Not all who wander are lost
Not all expensive things have value
And some worth far more than they cost

Not every act of love is loving
Not every gift is good
Kindness need not merit trust
And many a must is a should

Some things are not what they seem
Some prayers are foolish prayed
Some good goes on un-rewarded
And faithful hearts have strayed

Some have mourned and grieved the things
they�re better off without
And many a silver lining�s cloud
Has made the feint heart stout
