Diamonds Edge

Life can dazzle your mind 
shine like the sun
Erode is unlikley
but even a diamond of perfect beauty 
can be rough and harm its owner 
like everyones heart once in a while when it is mislead
so beware the diamonds rough edge mine it free
hone the diamond in the rough and bring forth the hidden beauty
like the heart these gems are nearly perfect in every way 
but all things can be fragile 
like the diamonds in the rough
