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…_
