I have a Crown that waits In glory up above A diadem of diamonds And other stones of love
My blood it is as rubies My sweat deep blue sapphires My tears are as a topaz Peridot, turquoise.
There are Opals in my charity Pearls in my patience Beryls in my honesty Fire agate in my faith
Emeralds in empathy I run from greed & vice Moonstone in great mercy Chrystophase in Christ
All these stones, and many more Will never fade, grow old They will be set in Floral Designs Bezels of purest gold.
I design my diadem With care, tender and great To gain these stones I must allow For vagaries of fate There is mention of a mansion That will be an estate But I look forward to that crown
