Life's A Diamond

Life's an exquisite diamond, a stone that's daily turned toward the light and cut. Sometimes inner calm—others a cyclone an uprooted heartache, pain in the gut. Yes, each slice is a painful reminder How difficult it is to lose in love. But if you can avoid being false and be kinder always being grateful, thankful for, of each new twist and turn, life can be precious good or bad, without ill-mannered acceptance we can stand steadfast like cypresses and turn our amber souls into carats many-faceted, on the whole faultless Happy midst highest or lowest solstice.
