Jewels
Many are the fools
who don’t understand,
How to hold a precious jewel
that fell into their hand.
They treat it like a stone to toss
into a lake,
Because they can not give
all they know is how to take.
They see not the brilliance of an emerald
in the red light,
The spellbinding read of a ruby
is wasted on their sight.
So, they toss their jewel inside and say
“I’ll pick it up someday,”
But, someone that knows its value
quickly carries it away.
That’s how I found mine; sparkling
with a smile diamond bright,
I clutched her in my arms held on
with all my might.
