I am a diamond in the rough,
meant to be buried yet still remain tough,
My father told me i could outshine them all;
for, at my worst I still stood tall.
Many times dirt has covered me,
I still shine bright; as, this is what is meant to be,
I am a diamond in the rough,
accidentally buried; yet, still remain tough.
I withstand the summer.winter, and fall,
I shall still remain the brightest diamond of all,
My points are big and sharp for all the world to see,
for my father, I will bring protection to all that befriends me,
pick me up.dust me off, and admire my chi me;
because, with me as a friend, you will always be in your prime,
I am a diamond in the rough,
never again to be buried; for, I have been buried enough!

Beautiful poem full of inspiration. One can shine like a diamond in life if one has the guts to withstand the rough times life compels one to face. Move on.

There is nothing so precious as family. To lose your brother tears away the very fabric of life. You have done for him what only you can do, and I hope that it will always bless your memory of him.
I have been buried enough! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
