Diamonds

Oh precious diamond, you shine so bright 

You're like a star, how you light up the night

So many want you, my dazzling jewel

For your heart is of warmth, yet you stay so cool

You're held in each person, but seldomly seen

But when you are found, there's a joy which you bring

You're priceless, soft diamond, which means you are rare

Not many will find you, though many will care

You glow like a candle, but strong, like a fire

Your river of veins flow from dreams and desire

Your crystal clear shell holds your beauty inside

But maybe one day you will no londer hide

If only we'd look in the depth of our soul

And find our diamond in our pot of gold

For our heart holds the key to the chamber of love

And my diamond, sweet diamond, you were sent from above
