As we go through life
There are ups,
There are downs.
When we are down
We become stressed.
But what we need to remember
Is that a diamond
Is just a piece of charcoal,
A piece of charcoal
That handled stress,
Handled stress exceptionally well.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
You are getting philosophical this Sunday ANDY ! Thanks for showcasing SHIRLEY BASSEY ~ A very exceptional and powerful voice. Diamond ~ as you point out ~ is a form (allotrope) of CARBON which is brilliant in light. It is the hardest mineral known ! Ironically the softest substance known GRAPHITE ~ is also CARBON but with a layer structure (hence its use as a lubricant and its ability to conduct electricity !) rather than the giant 3D molecular structure of DIAMOND. A Friend of mine collected DIAMONDS (as an investment) but did not keep them in a fire~proof safe. there was a fire an thousands of pounds worth of DIAMONDS turned into CARBON DIOXIDE and vanished into thin air ! So Diamonds like all Earthly Things are transients and never forever ! Ladies if you fall out with your husband ~ never throw your diamond ring on the fire ~ throw it in the trash and retrieve it the next day and sell it ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN Loved the Poem ~ Please check mine "IN THE GARDEN" ! Thanks B !
I take big vitamins about 4
for my stress
I think its the best remedy.
there are other ways of course.
I tried a few, but this one works well with me.
This is a wonderful write, Andy! A very positive thought for the day!
Always positive Christina, always positive.
This is a great metaphor - just loved the piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well Andy!
Thank you Lorna, much appreciated.
