Precious Black Diamond

When trials fall, she remains tough Yes, a diamond in the rough, Black…but shining outside her cage For courage is youth’s heritage. In time seasoned, one polished gem Reigning like a glossed diadem, And strength becomes a lasting grace Facing doubt with holy embrace. She knows each conquest quite well paid When life’s jewel adorns her shade. This woman never bought but found A precious light, finally crowned. Black Diamond Contest For Nayda Ivette Negron 8..08..2016
