We have all met an onion person

One of those people with many layers

At first sight they seem to be a regular person

Often somewhat regular and bland in appearance

Without any obvious talents or abilities

As you get to know them more

Peel away the multiple layers

Discovering more new things about them

Listening to their endless stories

Of the amazing things they have experienced

The many places they travelled to

Incredible people they have met

How they fell in love with sport music or art

What drove them to learn new skills

Why they feel so passionate about everything in life

Onions are usually very modest people

They do not advertise their presence

Spending most of their time hidden underground

Not necessarily extremely wealthy

If you only measure wealth in monetary terms

But they do have an infinite wealth in the joy of life

Onions add a lasting flavor to everybody they meet

They may have been through numerous careers

Reinventing themselves many times over

As they adapted to changing circumstances

Enriching themselves with a wealth of experiences

Often helping other folks along the way

Onions make great friends and companions

Apples are much easier to spot

They grow on trees and are easy to pick up

Their bright shiny exterior is there to attract you

They give the impression of being hard and firm

But they can easily be bruised

Its not difficult to get under their thin single skin

Once inside you will discover their true hidden personality

They may be sweet through and through

Or extremely tart and sour

Sadly some are rotten to the core
