SHINE LIKE DIAMOND

Diamond.

You're a diamond dear, they cannot break you,
Though you feel crushed, like all hope is through;
Remember you were forged under great pressure,
Which gives you a strength no trial can make lesser.

You're a diamond born a piece of coal,
Needing heat and pressure to become whole;
You're a sparkling proof of beauty and delight
Because with great strength and courage do you fight.

Shine brightly, a diamond can not be broken,
Let the true light of your being be seen and spoken;
Let others be dazzled by your many faceted brilliance,
Let others be awed by your strength and resilience.

A diamond is a very special gem to discover,
Is totally valued above and beyond any other;
It takes so many precious years to forge,
But once created and discovered, all hearts enthralls.

Be you, my diamond, shine brightly, never hide,
Show the world the brilliance you hold inside;
Shine your light upon this weary, dull world,
Let your truth by all other diamonds be heard.
