On seeing a small display of diamonds
(laboratory-made ones!)
Tune: O Waly Waly
('An upper room did our Lord prepare')
********
Diamonds shining in your brilliance
Your brightness appeals to our sense
Formed underground, hidden from our sight
Yet your light shines through darkest night
And so for us, humans made of clay
We made of dust, so do we say
The Spirit, He comes to resid in
Each heart and purifies from sin
Too God's grace, it multi-faceted
Sparkling from each angle, no dread
Except the fear, reverential awe
Of Him whom we worship, adore
Living light of the world, so inspire
Our hearts, our minds, with holy fire
Radiating true your presence here
As gems, no darkness does appear

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-pome in 9.8.9.8. KP wanted those diamonds. I said, 'Not now dear; but I will make you some out of botox'. lol. Erm, the hymn title is not strictly accurate - Our Lord did not prepare the upper room but sent his disciples to prepare it.
