Precious Rubies
It's my desire to bestow rubies
as tokens from heart that’s gracious
for special friends so endearing
deserving presents, grandly precious.
With jeweler’s prudent acumen
I would check the genuine from the synthetic
since these rubies are meant to be gifts
to valuable loved ones, true and authentic.
Delightfully, I chose these gems of worth
rubies for bracelets, necklaces, and rings
dominantly red with orange and purple hues
midst prevailing care every stone brings.
Having packed the rubies, each with wisdom-verse*
bearing with exuberant greetings of bliss…
from serene slumber I awoke
to chase rubies’ radiance I won’t miss.
*Proverbs 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
