Diamond In The Rough
A diamond
In the rough,
A light when the going gets tough.
In the dump
That is my life,
You are there
To get me through the strife.
The only reason
I can survive
Is because I have you,
My reason to be alive.
You shine bright
In this dull
World,
You make it whole.
You’re like the
Last flower
In a
Wilted field.
You’re like the
One splash of color
In a
Black and white photo.

_You shine bright_
_Where there is_
_No other light…_
You’re my diamond
In the rough,
My reason to fight
Even when I’ve had enough.
_You _
_Are_
_My _
_Diamond…_

_In _
_The _
_Rough…_
