Poetry

If you want to give to charity,
It's best to keep it secret.
You're not looking for accolades,
To help those in distress.

Keep it between you and God,
As He can be your witness
And should you not believe in God,
There's no one to impress!

Look upon an oyster,
The flesh within a shell,
Taste it once and you will
Taste the Sea.

Oysters will produce a pearl,
A pearl of sheer perfection!
Extremely rare,
That's how it's meant to be.

Something got inside the shell,
And caused an irritation,
And over time, a pearl had been produced.



The irritant is every day of stressful situations
Finances? The bills are overdue!

He or she had compromised a soundproof invitation,
Forgot to see the precious jewel at hand.

Health we took for granted,
'Til it's no longer there,
But looking back,
It's then we understand.

The blessings we had once received,
In gratitude, we prayed
To an imaginary person up above.

And He reminds us of the jewel,
The perfect pearl was made,
And don't you know,
It was produced by love?
