An unexpected miracle has happened
Long I, the sinner, have asked for one
Intellect and reason said it shouldn’t’ve come
Still I struggled my way to find
Harmony and someone to call mine
And at last it has occurred!

In all ways, though, I was undeserving

Lust to be satisfied with the simple modesty
Over-looked be the flaws in any in this Ruby so rare
Variance is all I can see, make my gem unique and,
Everlasting

Young we may be, but the
Overt happiness we receive remains
Undeniably obvious, and thus my story

For I’ve now spent my time
Excavating for diamonds
And gold for the ring
Alas, I found my Ruby in the rough.
