The Gem

I considered a gem today

A gem that I will one day own

A gem that brought such splendor

A delight that I had never known

 

I considered a gem today

A gem that I intend to keep

A gem that brought such beauty

A brilliance that caused my heart to leap

 

I considered a gem today

A gem that I desire to hold

A gem that brought such happiness

A joy that laid bare my soul
