Picking Diamonds
Foggy mist from the creek rises
Accented by a gold sun
Wispy clouds lie white against blue
When the crack of dawn is done
Heavy dew sparkles or looks white
Upon the grass lime green
Waterdroplets cling like diamonds
In the scheme of things
Capture one for my ring finger
Two for my pierced ears
About ten for a heart pendant
But they'll all disappear
If acquiring things could be so
easy, life lived so grand
We'd all luxurate in diamonds
and be dressed in name brand
Life is not so easy, it has
its demands, there's little
free gold, life is work untold
and money comes in dribbles
