…………….Precious Stones

Some few have sailed with purpose found,
…While others were adrift.
The latter serve out all their days
…As if life were a shift,

A shift that is repeated oft
…So there’s no need to try
To be exact with rule or cup –
…Another round comes by.

But life’s an uncut diamond worth
…More than its weight in gold.
And from that rock can come a stone
…Whose beauty is extolled.

But jeweler’s cuts must be exact;
…There is no second story.
Those strikes upon the precious stone
…Bring one to ruin or glory.
