Covered and Protected
Covered and Protected
By Lawrence M Nunez
Muhammad Ali told his daughter,
Everything God made valuable
in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds?
Deep down in the ground,
covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls?
Deep down at the bottom of the ocean,
in a beautiful shell, covered up and protected.
Where do you find gold?
Way down in the mine,
with layers of rocks, covered and protected.
“Is not Your body sacred?
You’re far more precious
than diamonds, pearls and even gold
You should be covered too.”
Muhammad Ali told his daughter,
In the book “more than a hero”
I join him saying “cover up”
You are more precious than the Angels in heaven
by his blood you are covered and protected.
