Wasted Pearls
We are born into this world although we did not ask
our love—our care— someone else's task...
If we are not nurtured and prepared for this world
then all that is left are— wasted pearls...
Until we thirst for knowledge of betterment and graduate
from the hard knocks college of life...
Through perseverance— we'll come to recognize that we are,
precious pearls...
