Precious lil pearl

by chritty - Aries

A little pearl remained in a display case for all to see
in a silver box
tied with a golden string
tooken out everyonce in a while
just to remind her of when she was a child
who knew that something so small
could bring so much joy and delight
how could something so beautiful bring so much
pain and worry
the guilt of such a gift came at a price
people wouldn’t understand
the priceless and precious gift given to her by a man
a man she hardly knew
a man that had loved another
a man just passing through
she had tooken a gift from him
that could not be returned
and according to her mother that was a sin
way over her head swimming in deep water
there was no was she could return her new born 
daughter
she knew she would have to make sacrafices
just to keep something so beautiful and nice
it would be expensive that she knows
but there wasn’t anyway she could let go
of the thing that mattered the most
so she kept her precious little jewel
in a display case
close to her heart
for all to see but never to touch
she cherished her very much
and vowed to protect her no matter what
if ever stolen she could never be replaced
a precious little pearl with an angel’s face
