THE JEWEL OF A TEAR

No Diamond
Can cut it.

Nor Shine
against
Its Brilliance.

Nor Polish it
To reflect
Its Beauty.

Only a Heart
Can hold
This Jewel.

Only Care,
Can keep it
From Decay..

It is more
Precious,
Than Gold

Purer than,
The purest Jewels.

One Tear Drop
is worth,
A million Hearts.

Cannot be bought
or measured..

One Drop
Can Hold
A Lifetime of wealth.


For when it Falls
It Shows it all
It's Clear to see
and reflects
Its Heart.

Its Facet
is more Brilliant
Than Diamonds..

The Heart
will Crack it open
To show all its jewels..

A THOUGHT!

One Chest
To hold
A wealth of Life
A Tear in a Heart.

One Chest
To hold
A Heart for Life
A Tear
That carried
Care to Love.

One Chest
To Treasure all your Life
A Tear,
I gave to God..

Dedicated To
My Sister Rose Arnita

A Poeatreeman

If I have one
Jewel in Life
Let it be my Tear.

If I have one
Jewel to give
Let it be I Cared.

If I have one Tear
Let me give it
To the World..
