Diamond in the Rough

Posted on Dec 16, 2011 | Tags: | Comments (0)

All my efforts are never enough

I am like a diamond stuck in the rough

Try as I may I cannot myself free,

My beauty hindered by the mountains around me

Find me, O Creator! Se me loose to shine!

Create a ring for yourself, I forever thine,

O Finder of Value, O Carver of Jewels,

Etch me, make me I am yours to rule,

Break me loose from these rocks and stones,

I am meant for more, my spirit doth groan,

A gem in your crown, or a piece in your gate,

Use me wherever! I can no longer wait!

Painful extraction, my I bear it so?

May I stand firm against his miner's blow?

Pain washes over my earthly form,

In destroying precision, a perfect storm,

I am finally loose, amidst the remaining debris,

Exalting, I once was bound, but now I'm free.
