The Opal And The Amethyst
A pure white precious Opal
Met an Amethyst one day.
Amethyst loved the rainbow colours
That dazzled back her way.
A mesmerising iridescence
Met with purple calm.
Together they were beautiful,
Each with their own charm.
They trekked through many jewellery stores
But none of them would do.
They had bigger ambitions
Shared just between the two.
"We don't want to be cut down to size
For a pendant or a ring
Or become a decoration piece
Worn at a fancy gathering.
How about occasions rare and unique?
We'll bring awe to every town
When we are delicately placed, positioned
Well upon the royal crown!
We are not destined for greater things.
We are dreamers, that is all.
We call ourselves "The Midget Gems"
For the best things are small."
