Polished Sheen

Softly glowing gold
Polished to a satin sheen
Sharply faceted diamond
Beveled edges contain fire within

Sheer golden heirloom
Speaks with grace in beauty
Humbly gleaming of unmasked glory
Polished to a satin sheen

Seemingly transparent beauty
Awaits the light for life
Caught in sunshines rays it ignites
Sharply faceted diamond

A spectacular set of friends
One of gold and one of diamond
Polished to a satin sheen
Beveled edges contain fire within
