The green emeralds and red rubies
The blue , pink and yellow sapphires
The opals with rainbow colors
The black, white and champagne- colored pearls
Formed by living oysters
Beneath our oceans
The Clear diamonds,
The hardest rocks to break
The light aquamarines and turquoises
The one of a kind purple Amethyst
We string them in Gold and Silver
The shiny beautiful gems in various
Colors, shapes and sizes
Hardened with time
Molded and sculpted by
Skilled women with loving hands
Our mothers, grandmothers,
sisters, teachers and friends
These are the women who with their
enduring love for these
treasures cherish them
so they shine the brightest.
Thank you to the mothers
who shaped and molded their
rough rocks and turned them
into precious gems.
We the children are our mother's
greatest treasures.
This Poem is for My mother
and to all the Moms
who love their Gems.
