Pearls

A pearl is not found in every oyster 
Only ones that endure a grit that comes to fester
Slowly its lacquered and covered with shiny plaster
It takes grit and time and no way to do it faster
And the grit is the start of the pearl of luster

Consider every grit that comes into your life
Cover with love and forgive every strife
For you will encounter irritating grits rife
Solve them with mediation and not with a knife
Make Lovely pearls and brighten every life

Very true, but only if everyone followed the path of righteousness with calm mind and patient heart. Enjoyed reading it.

I like this one.. forgive every strife..a better timing..in rhyming..I only correct with love. I wish people would do that for me more often.. keep writing. I lost my writing for 30 years..
