Diamond in the Rough

Shine bright like a diamond

She wasn’t planned, nor conceived; derived from an everlasting love.

Made out of a naive confusion; and an idea, you can’t get rid of.

She wasn’t planned, nor conceived; Her beginning met with contempt;

A blockade for future conquests. He could never love; nor accept.

But despite that, she was immensely loved; by a village, beyond myself.

And I can only be but utmost grateful; that loneliness she has never felt.

She wasn’t planned, nor conceived; but she has thrived, and she has grown.

Despite a world without him; her heart is not made of stone.

And although not having a typical life, is something that may be tough.

There is no doubt, there is no denying; that she is a diamond, in the rough!
