The Gem

One day out of nowhere I seen something very bright on the pathway of life.
I got curious and went to look at it.
When I got up close and seen her.
I realized it was worth millions to me.
A very beautiful gem she was.
The prettiest gem I’d ever seen.
A little damaged was she.
But with a little TLC could be healed.
It was a female that little did I know would be at my side forever.
Just like a gem she was.
The most thoughtful one I’ll ever know.
She’s very sensible and loveable.
A rock I can lean on.
She says everything right on time.
Her soft reassuring voice to me is worth a lifetime of love.
My gem is a shining start.
I’ll never stop loving her.
That’s the shiniest treasure I will ever find.
There will never be another.
I’ll always pray this gem is more than a fall in life.
I’ll never forget the day I found my gem.
