A Gem Of My Own

As a girl, I’ve always known, A love for treasures all my own. When others cherished gold’s warm glow, I sought the gems with rarer show. Diamonds, clear as morning dew, Their light reflects a soul so true. In pearls, I see a gentle grace, The calm of oceans on my face. Emeralds with their verdant fire, Ignite my heart, my soul’s desire. And platinum’s cool, eternal gleam, Holds the strength of every dream. My standards high, I’ve always known, A love for beauty that’s my own. While gold may charm the world, it’s true, My heart finds home in treasures new.
