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…
