Each Day's A Diamond Poem by Robert Melliard

Each Day's A Diamond

Rating: 5.0


Each day's a diamond
when you lose someone you love.

You realize just how near death is.

We walk along a narrow ridge,
steep cliffs on either side.

And as we go,
our relatives and friends may fall,
forced off by accidents or illness,
as we ourselves may be, at any time.

So I repeat
each day's a gem: I'm learning to appreciate
its colour, light and shape.

A great poem with muses of how life can be on the brink. I like the analogy of the cliff edge and how some fall off it signifying death. I do hope u read mine latest too.

Even though we do not see it, every sunrise we are presented with a unique diamond, days are a gift and we somehow take it for granted
