You are the Pearl

A treasure without measure in my life 

a genuine and rare beautiful gem 

forged in the bowels of pain, wounded in strife 

The oyster in time unfurls a diadem 

 

Wrapped in my heart with strings of ardor 

Drawn and tied with the strength of passion 

where it belongs, safe, secure, to guard her 

Never wondering it would unfasten 

 

She was brought to my life by God’s goodness 

In her humble abode she matured 

Her personality was tenderness 

A precious creation exceptionally secured 

 

Nothing can put asunder what God has 

Joined together, this love, valued, cherished 

Passionately withstanding the test of time.
