Diamonds

On earthen shores are treasures Of love, of joy, of life A family's forever bond The children, Husband, Wife Treasure troves of memories Within' these earthen treasuries The blessed earthly life of years And yet, can break, and rush to tears The tears like diamonds fall like the sands Lift them Father, within Your hands, The broken hearts in sorrows weep And in Your love, please. Father, keep Those washed in tears sweet memories Flows from earthen treasuries Comfort the broken, draw close and near Drying, every diamond tear Amen

Love the comparison to diamonds, BJ. Have always thought that we are all diamonds. Some just need more polishing than others... Thanks! ~ Gershon
