Pure is the white quartz

Treasure its charm.

Precious Stone
You are as a precious stone
For your beauty bought my heart
And time I hope you know.
By standing where you are
It takes me to the day
When we were feet apart
And the stars had been our lamp
They guided our wondering hearts.
As the street lights lit your face
Giving me a better gaze
Deeper into who you are.
Leading me to

Precious Stone
A queen’s devotion for her men
Was rewarded many times again,
They quested for precious things
with endurance like emeralds,
Prisms of green light, or rubies
Red honor guards, and malachites,
The pureness of diamonds that
Broke down the strength of light.
How you shine when you smile,
Natural pearls cannot know
Your gift, your sweet and open heart,
Worth its weight in silver and gold.

A PRECIOUS STONE
Each one of us
A precious stone is,
A unique jewel,
Masterfully created by
The divine
For
To embellish the crown worn
By
Our beloved person’s heart
Thus
Making it shine!

described so beautifully by
a poetess, deceased, whose wisdom shone,

Precious Stone
As I walked on the road
Ragged, rocky and raw,
The Sun had beat down, midday
high and bright
I was travelling down, on the straight
route, alone except for the whistling
wind, which sometimes pushed against my sides
so hard, I fought to stay on track.
I peered down at my feet and behind me
at my footprints in the sandy areas, and

A Precious Stone
Nothing can be used
To unveil a stone that is pure
A loving golden diamond
Dressed with care only in wealth
My stone, raw and pure
Of truth and tolerance
A fella indeed
Forsaketh me not in a time
Of tribulation and trouble
Even in the whirlwind
My stone is in the yonder
Bringing down the mountain in wonder
A rare gem of a stone
In
