Precious Pearl

My precious, precious pearl,

I have found you.

I have searched within the muck

Amongst those with whom I’d have no truck.

As your shell opened,

There you were,

So beautiful and rare,

Glowing a bright, light radiance

Of caring and truth and fairness;

Your gentle consideration

Beaming your inspiration;

A beacon of decency

Flowering amongst the decadence;

Hope amongst the despair

That fills the filthy air.

Oh sweet and precious pearl,

Please stay within my world.

Please stay within God’s loving word.
