A Pearl


                                           A Pearl       

                               A mystic and exquisite gem
                       Conceived through pain and endurance,
                           A precious fruit in nature`s realm
                       A pearl`s bred with care and patience.

                              Symbiosis of nature and sea
                          Devised through an act of the Lord,
                                 Symbol of pristine purity
                             It is carved with divine accord.

                                  Yet, a pearl or an emerald
                              Is no companion in our grave
                     When  by Hades` icy hands we`re called
                            The Almighty`s justice to brave .
                            
                             Our sole company to the grave
                      Rests our kind deeds the world to build
                            The roads for others we did pave
                           And folks in dire needs we did shield.

                          Let the wisdom bequeathed by pearls
                            Guide us to paths that are upright
                             And our soul to the divine world
                                  That for eternity is bright.
