dare to be different young lady

Dare to be different
young lady,
don't get caught up
in this world of deception.
You are more precious 
than diamonds,
pearls or gold.
Think about
that for a moment.
Diamonds 
are found deep in the ground,
covered and protected until
they are found.
Pearls
are found deep in the ocean,
covered and protected until
they are found.
Gold 
is found deep in the mines,
covered and protected until
it is found.
point being,
you have to dig deep
to find these treasures.
Every valuable thing
God placed on this earth,
is well covered and hard to see,
until it's discovered.
Dare to be different
young lady,
because
you are God's greatest
treasure,
and your body
is a temple,
discover the inner you,
the treasure that
is covered and protected.
Dare to be different
young lady.
