Diamonds In Your Eyes

In your eyes, a diamond's remnants
Reflects the beauty of inner contentment

For only when polished, does its beauty show
Like the bright light, of your heart's glow

Dear Donna, this poem is really gorgeous. I was thoroughly engaged from start to finish. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the wonderful comments you have placed on my poems in the past. I would be taking them off so I just thought I would acknowledge your kindness before I do.

Beauty is found inside; inside ourselves and inside your words.
