DIAMONDS ARE FORVER

To own a diamond takes an exercise in phases
for it lasts forever
Put in enough consistent manners
And you will have no regret ever
Just as an explorer experiences, discovery is only by the tough
Not to be put off on its discovery
For by appearance it is rough!

But rejoice and be glad for the discovery. Though it appears rough
With patience and endurance you carefully polish and beauty appears
Lo and behold like a star in the sky your diamond starts to glitter
So expensive it becomes for your efforts that never must it litter
Look round the world in reflection, its filled with all races
What distinguish you are your qualities
Not all could keep with the pace with which you have set the pace.

In all ways no barrier your attributes sells it over, black or white.
You have won to yourself an asset, whether in the morning or at night
that diamond you discovered rough now turns an attractive diamond.
So precious it becomes that it can never be taken like an almond

Like a star in the sky adorn by all, it never stop to twinkle.
So is the beauty of it but only the bearer enjoys it as it sparkle
Who gets a diamond wins all, for he wins a precious thing ever.
Like a plough to the earth till it crops, dare to explore like an explorer.
May you win diamond as you explore, for it last and shines forever.
