The Precious Jewels

"J" With Four Options 7-30-25 Family and friends are God given the treasures to our hearts – the precious jewels that adorn our lives. Quote by poet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Precious Jewels Companions on my journey precious jewels Each a treasure in my heart When I grow weary their ruby strength Leads me rest in lush valleys where peridot sparkle Chases the ebony of night Into topaz silence like faithful dragonflies With soothing balms in amethyst visions Like emerald leaves of my youth they whisper Of turquoise skies when days had no wrinkles Dispelling tears of cloudy occlusions With diamond purity of carved onyx Remembering each one engraved in the facets As I gather precious pearls of our memories From morning moonstones and garnet twilights Into a diadem Of good and faithful friends and family Gifts from a king without a birthday
