pearls

heart gems

Life brings pain to every heart

Trust betrayed, hopes destroyed, Loves lost

All cemented in the deepest place

Some are blinding, searing, or just sad.

All have a place

 

Day dreams, Night visitors define us

 

Confronting provides no healing

Ignoring causes festering sores.

 

The wise builds a beautiful dam.

It holds back life’s agony with a glaze of love

Contained now, these harms are gems of beauty

Pearls created from the love of God

 

Each pearl is a gift to us all.

[John the Baptist]

It's all a school, nothing more. As we learn to observe, we learn.

indeed and we learn much through it. Thanks for responding. It is better to have a pearl in your heart then pain or hate.
