I took a walk one day
I didn’t bother to take the normal way
I walked through the woods
Not knowing where it would lead
So I continued to follow the path
Not knowing what I would find
Not far ahead
Through the breaks in the trees
I could see a vacant house
And decided to proceed
So ahead I pushed through
The blocked path of shrubs
And all other things unforeseen
When I came upon the house
It was so dark and eerie
But something inside was calling to me
As I went inside and begin to look around
It was apparent that there was something for me
I slowly combed the whole of the place
Searching every nook and cranny very carefully
Not wanting to miss anything or one single trace


Soon I came to a room
Which I had almost missed
And when I opened the door
I knew that this was it
There was a presence here
That I could surely feel
And I moved to the corner
As I drew closer, the feeling became more real
And as I reached the spot
That I had been drawn to and couldn’t ignore
The radiance shown brightly
To one particular spot on the floor
I bent down and began brushing off debris
And shortly it was revealed to me
I brushed past some loose rocks and sifted through sand
And looked in wonder at what was in my hand
There sat an ordinary rock or what it appeared be
But the more I looked the more I could tell it was for me
This rock was special and caught my eye
Though it looked plain, it was special to me
Not just the way that it looked to the naked eye
But the warmth in my hand and the way it made me feel inside
I left then and went back to my home
I never told anyone about where I had gone
As the weeks went by the rock took on a glow
That got brighter and brighter to match the sun
Then one day the rock broke into little pieces
And crumbled like dust into my hand
The pieces broke off and fell to the ground
And I was left amazed at the diamond I had found
The diamond was more than perfect in every way
Size, shape, color and clarity were all greater than perfect
And it’s shine took my breath away
It was so bright that it couldn’t be covered
It was reaching out to the world
But even more importantly it spoke to me
Filling me with love, strength and the ability
To work hard and strive to be the best I could be
And when I looked at it again
It had transformed into you.
You are my true diamond and I love you. Forever
