The Diamond
The history of a precious stone….
In the earth for centuries from coal to a precious stone.
Now meant to be a symbol of love promising that one won’t be alone…
The diamond…
Often mined in poverty overseas by slaves.
Who work just like a marriage vow both done until their graves.
The diamond…
One of the hardest substances that one can find on earth…
One of the most valuable objects which can define one’s worth.
The diamond…
Each one as unique as those trying to obtain them as a goal…
The only thing that’s more unique is each individual soul…
The diamond…
