DiamondI remember the firstDiamond I'd ever seen Hard and cold Yet clear and brilliant With an almost inherent Light As though it would glitter Even in the dark... And I've never seen a Soul So like a diamond as your own Strong Tough Hard Yet clear Brilliant Shining with the light of a Thousand stars Warring the darkness And keeping the peace... So perhaps that's how you knew How you understood my soul For what I hide is more of a Diamond in the rough No great beauty, That much is sure But real And rough And imperfect... For I'm just now learning To let life break me To be sharpened by the wounds And polished by the pain And maybe someday to shine With my own inner light To stop hiding And find strength And courage And beauty From within... And perhaps Just maybe... To be loved... For me... Only you have seen the potential Only you have stopped to look And you've lifted me Faults and all And pointed the way... And, in your own way, You've loved me... And that has made the difference. Copyright 2003 Anaildubh |
