Hidden Jewels

Hidden Jewels

Those rarest of objects,
very highly prized -
stones buried deep,
precious though hidden,

waiting to be found,
cut and shaped,
polished and revealed
in all their beauty.

Shining colours bright,
yellow, red and blue,
sparkling in the light,
attractive to behold.

Such are we each one of us,
when our true light,
is discovered and uncovered,
and our rough edges smoothed.

That light shines bright from within -
our best qualities revealed by us,
and nurtured by others
in friendship and love.

Each one unique,
a priceless jewel,
unlike any other,
an individual.
