_______________________________________________________________________
There are things about me which are unknown
by many of the people that I know.
Memories I treasure are etched in stone.
These gems stored in my brain still brightly glow.
My days of youth and sunshine so divine
are padparadscha sapphires, with a hue
beyond compare. In orange-pink they shine
along with turquoise varying in blue.
In ebony, nights of romance are etched
inside my mind, forever to live on.
I wish that one night longer had been stretched
into citrine or heliodor dawn.
Each happy ruby red or diamond day
I've lived since then cannot be whisked away.
