Gems

walking through the
mountains today
listening to the song of the jay


|I stumbled across
some beautiful rocks


I picked one of them up
held it to the sunlight
to get a better look


much to my suprise
I realized
I was holding a gem


when I looked a little further
at the ground
I saw that
those gems were
all around


I couldnt believe
what I had found

rough though they be
I could plainly see
precious sunstones


excited at what
I had found
these little blessings
from the ground


I must have walked this way
many times
why did I find these gems
today


one doesnt know
what the Lord
will say
or
what He wants us to know


but


keep walking the path
because
He has something to show


gems all around us
most rough yes I know


it is up to us
to smooth them out
only then will we see
thier light
precious and bright


by staying on the path
you will have no doubts
what it is really
all about


these gems
at our feet
are a special treat


God put them there
just for you

I think that is really neat


2010 HC Holbert

Many years ago my father told me you should really love what you do and work at, or you will have no joy in life. You must be one joyful soul because with the music you create with yours poems and songs how could there not be joy?

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
