This Jewel I Sought Poem by Shirley K.W. Ka

Every journey you'd pass sticks and stones,
They seem to come when you're alone.
Then on the road, some side path'd show,
When feeling pain, temptation glows:
The easy way compared to main...
Warmth of sunshine instead of rain.
Where greeting's warm...carpet's red,
And a Golden Crown that fits your head.
A Castle home; Royal Robes;
The finest Dining in the world.
And on his knees, a Charm Prince-King,
...out he held a Diamond ring,
' All is yours for just one kiss,
We'll live a life time of love and bliss.'

If this side path becomes main stream,
It could be a life of a woman's dream.
Yet as days go by, and months and years,
You'd bear the risk of regretful tears.
For a hasty yes' a mind's Deceit,
He may not be the one you seek:
Who grants you joy when Direness peaks,
And gently brings your Heart to beat.

I wish to find The Warmth of Heart:
A Jewel which lasts when diamonds rot;
The whole world's riches affords it not.
And even when you may have been,
In a castle home and crowned a Queen,
It'd be no blessing without Thine warmth.
This Jewel I sought, it can't be bought,
It is yours if it so ought.
