True Diamonds
March 5, 2016, Chula Vista-
I laid a diamond in a vault,
Some five years ago today.
A hatchling gem sprouted wings,
and found his own way.
Much happened to burnish
away the rough,
both for mother and for son.
I think of those who have not
seen their shine,
It’s for them that my tears run.

Too often we fail to see the diamond until someone else polishes off the rough edges....
So true!
