Ashes To Diamonds

Tucked away high in the alps There is a company that turns ashes into diamonds, it is akin to the children's story of Rumpelstiltskin, who could turn straw into gold...... This story is about the soul Memorial diamonds they are called To remember the dearly departed It's your loved ones ashes that they turn into gems! The jewels of the soul Now your loved one, though gone, will shine bright Like precious gems forevermore..... Journey of the soul So dry your tears Have no fear Your loved ones live on Transformed in the afterlife Into something so precious Diamonds!

Joseph, Your poem made me think of that Sunday School song, "All His Jewels, Precious Jewels." Thank you.

I have hear of this Joseph - have also heard of ashes going missing on route to these places - I am to be scattered at a beautiful place I can see from my attic room. I bought myself a 3 stone diamond necklace - if my son wants that keepsake he is welcome... I don't intend to let him have it for a good few years yet! hugs jan xxx
