Diamond

LARRY ALSTON

Crystal clear a jewel in my eyes
I see her through and through
Perfectly shaped cut just so fine
She has a magnificent glow
I adore her beauty
Her shine is there for all to see
Precious to all around
Very hard to acquire
Such sweat pain suffering
To place my hands upon her
I have her
Crystal clear a jewel in my eyes
She is mine
