The Precious Jewels

"J" With Four Options  7-30-25
Family and friends are God given the treasures to our hearts – the precious jewels that adorn our lives. Quote by poet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Precious Jewels

Companions on my journey precious jewels 
        Each a treasure in my heart
When I grow weary their ruby strength
Leads me rest in lush valleys 
Where peridot sparkle 
      Chases the ebony of night
Into topaz silence
Like faithful dragonflies
        With soothing balms in amethyst visions
Like emerald leaves of my youth
They whisper of turquoise skies W
When days had no wrinkles
        Dispelling tears of cloudy occlusions
          With diamond purity of carved onyx
Remembering each one engraved in the facets
As I gather precious pearls of our memories
From morning moonstones and garnet twilights
      Into a diadem 
Of good and faithful friends and family
Gifts from a king without a birthday
