Precious
*Look at the stars, look at how they
shine for you and everything you do ...
You're a jewel, bereft compare
Hewn of star stuff, rich and rare
Uniquely shaped to beautify
Adorning, bright, a yawning sky
Seeded concept - bosom's bloom
Sparked to essence in life's womb
Perfecting flaws as humans do
Yet no one else, the perfect You
So tremble not with mortal awe
If fed resplendent, virtue's maw
Meant to hasten priceless wings
Borne through time's meanderings
Yearn to pierce the great expanse
And twirl to dust, your final dance
That latent shore of Heaven's sand
This precious life is yours, in hand ...
This precious life ... is YOURS.
* From the song "Yellow" by Coldplay
