Gems

Living in the Gem Capital now,
one can see all the gem joints all around.
Folks can spend a few hours or all day
sifting through soil to see if they
are lucky enough to find a 'hidden gem'.

Here's a news flash!
One doesn't need to work nearly as hard,
or traverse so very far,
to find such spectacular gifts!

They could be standing in front of a class;
or seated next to you on a subway;
or perhaps at your lunch table;
or waiting for your arrival at home.
They are your family, your friends,
and sometimes, if you pay attention,
strangers with a simple gift to share.

You are wealthier than you know.
'Dripping in diamonds' if you will.
You need only look beside you,
for a gracious heart,
a kind gesture,
a warm smile,
love.

Rock your bling today!
