"The Greatest Accessory Of All" by: Junita Thiessen

People care to much.
How their hair looks
or their clothes.
They don't care about what matters
The soul

The soul is what truly matters
that thing that is deep inside.
The soul is always fashionable
no matter what the season is.

The soul is something that changes color a million times
from when you are born to when you die.
My soul is yellow today
because I'm happy inside.

On Thursday my soul was green
for I envied another girl.

The soul is by far the best accessory you can have.
And that's what they should write in the magazines.

Way too many people in today's day and age obsess over their appearance and what others think of them.  What people do not realize is that it is not what is on the outside that matters, it is what is on the inside.  The author does an excellent job of expressing her views on this subject.  She mentions how the soul changes color a million times because as we mature and develope as human beings we change constantly. Our views and mindset are continually changing as well.  The way the author presents these true values is unique and for that I really like this poem.
