JEWEL.

I'll give you a necklace of stars, my dear.

From it there hangs a pendant sphere.

To surround the sphere with azure blue

I have inset a sun for you.



Glowing bright with the green of grass and tree,

Em'rald clasped in a silver sea.

Here is my labour for endless time;

Just remember the gift was mine.



For the world you see with eyes of wonder

Time itself would only plunder.

No,my dear,time was not the carver.

"To you,my child,from your loving Father".

What can I say but 'beautiful'. Beauty felt and beauty written. This is an excellent emotional piece of poetry. Thank you for sharing it.
