Born By Fire

Deep within the earth's crust slowly over the centuries it had gradually made it's way finally it reached the light of day Dull and round as big as a golf ball it lay on the ground enduring rain followed by wind and sunshine slowly the outer skin came away At last it was free yet still dull a man picked it up excitement in his heart he took it to a jeweller's for polishing it was cut and shaped letting light in Weighing 12 carats it was well acclaimed as into gold it was set, an engagement ring thus this stone born of fire and pressure graced beauty's hand with its own beauty
