Diamond is a priceless gemstone.
Brilliant rays it reflects make it awesome.
Precious gift to someone special.
Expensive when you have it one.
Harmful when swallowed one.
It's precious,
as its reduced to coal when burnt,
and can never be restored back.
Life is like a precious diamond.
Each life is unique in it's own way.
It's value is priceless,
as it can do many things,
which can never be valued at all.
It can spread love, care, share, happiness
and positivity in all the things it does.
All the qualities reflected make it awesome
like a diamond.
It's precious as it cannot be restored back
to life, once reduced to ashes,
But will be alive in the hearts of many
for all the good qualities it has spread.
Filling your life with positive qualities
will reflect you like a diamond.
Being precious in this world like a diamond is
Really something great!

True mam, life is a precious diamond, which most of us don't realize most often unless it is lost! Thanks for sharing...
A random pick-up has made me to your poetry. Simple, elegant and positive. These days I find poems containing such positive attitude. Most of the poems are only related to mere existentialism. In that context, your poem is very different. I also belong to Palakkad. Very glad to see another one from the same town.
