Matthew 7:6 , Job 28:18

Pearl Mother gave me a string of rare pearls Passed through Maternal blood to every girl Not all at once, but one at a time When needed the most or by her design In times of confusion, heart break, or joy When days were quiet, nights dizzy with noise Each precious pearl memorized Passed to my daughters, this gift of the wise Mother gave me a string of rare pearls Such valuable wisdom in a man's world.

Beautiful metaphoric write, Crystol - the precious wisdom of women passed down from one generation to the next like a set of heirloom pearls. Very creative take on the contest, wonderfully expressed. Congratulations on your win! Blessings to you.

Dear Crystol, yes, "Such valuable wisdom in a man's world." What a great finale! Your poem is a pearl, full of feminine/maternal beauty, wisdom born of pain or pleasure, heirlooms to be passed "through Maternal blood to every girl", "In times of confusion, heart break, or joy". Yes there are lessons only a mother/woman can teach a daughter/girl. Fortunate are we females who receive these pearls. A deep, rich poem. Superb! Congratulations for your win in Craig's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

True pearls indeed. Never got any life training from my parents. Strange. But we had an okay upbringing. Not complaining. I hope you have a wonderful week Crystol

I'd say they did ok since you are a good human being! Sometimes lessons are given through example and others with words... actions are more powerful at that. Thanks for stopping by Tom, you have a wonderful week as well! Xo
