Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

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
