Sand To A Pearl Poem by Danny Speicher

Oh, little girl how I wish that I could
Show you that someday you'll smile again
That it'll happen, all of a sudden when
A moment strikes more sweetly than it should

And, all these memories that haunt you now
Where you see him in each place you once passed
And, how the dreams you dreamt were meant to last
Resolve to faded nostalgia somehow

Little girl, I see the tears in your eyes
I've been there before, I know the pain well
But, this sadness, your own, personal hell
Will soon turn to bliss as you slowly rise

And, hurt you feel, little girl, little girl
Will turn to beauty like sand to a pearl

I know you now think that life won't go on
Because he's chosen a different path
Now that you have incurred his sudden wrath
He's journeyed away, but love is not gone

For the love that God allowed you to feel
For the short time that you were in his arms
Adoration you had for all his charms
And, the cuts that sting and seem to not heal

All of this will appear all but a dream
Dreamt in a dimension so far away
When the one the Father chose comes that day
And, all that's real is better than it seemed

And, hurt you felt, little girl, little girl
Has turned to beauty like sand to a pearl
