A Pearl In You
Pearl
In a faraway land, a merchant found a precious pearl
He happily sold everything and traveled a long distance
To buy the tiny fruit from a little shell
The shell endured for several years to form the pearl
The beauty resulted from pain by a splinter
Its noble radiance made his heart swirl
He sacrificed everything but gained true satisfaction
Its modest and elegant beauty was priceless
Its long lasting value never saw deterioration
I found a far more valuable pearl shining in pure white
Growing along with your pain, down in your soul
Reflecting the brightest light in your darkest part
Your sympathy, understanding and strength
These are lasting rewards from your struggle
With tears from pain, you hold onto hope and truth
