Precious Gems
Would that I had a bracelet,
Of starlight 'round my wrist.
A matching ring upon my hand,
My earlobes starlight kissed.
I wish I had a neck chain,
Of moonbeams 'round my neck,
To wear with robes of gossamer,
And be so fine bedecked;
But if I had such finery,
It wouldn't be so special.
I wouldn't value it so much,
If they were on my level;
But every night I'm bathed in them,
The jewels of the night.
I bask in silver radiance,
As I walk beneath their light.

The natural things of this world are so far above us that we should value them more than gold.
