One special gem
There is one special Gem
to be treasured
The quality
not to be measured
Is it the brightest
or the sharpest
Do I touch?
Do I feel?
Life is like a lucky dip
Or a racket game
You hit or miss
All that glitters is not gold
A well-polished gem
Can shine and gleam
But then cracks show through
When it loses sheen
So look beyond the polished Gem
Look once, look twice
Then look again
It can take years
To strike gold
To find the one
To truly behold
to be treasured
The quality
not to be measured
Is it the brightest
or the sharpest
Do I touch?
Do I feel?
Life is like a lucky dip
Or a racket game
You hit or miss
All that glitters is not gold
A well-polished gem
Can shine and gleam
But then cracks show through
When it loses sheen
So look beyond the polished Gem
Look once, look twice
Then look again
It can take years
To strike gold
To find the one
To truly behold
