Gems Of Life Poem by Malcolm Bradshaw

We are gem’s that glitter,
When born upon this earth,
Each one of us sparkles,
From the moment of our birth.

We learn from our parents,
Who treat us with care?
They teach us not to be greedy,
Say that we should share.

Their are many facets to our gem,
That sparkles and gleams in the light,
Many tasks for us to conquer,
Many battles for us to fight.

In gem’s of such beauty,
Hidden within its core,
Concealed by its brilliance,
There lays a tiny flaw.

Not all gem’s shine brightly,
Tarnished with the age of time,
Do not shrug them off as useless,
For underneath they glisten and shine.

The greatest gem of all is God,
The centre of lives pool,
A stone of priceless wonder,
A bright and shining jewel.
