I have a jem
It sparkles in the sunlight inside of me
and blinds the eyes of those who dare to challenge
the brightness of my jem
It impresses people everywhere
leaving them in awe and amazement
I have no need to flaunt or praise myself
for it is done constantly for me
Despite the obvious that exists in me
To some, it cannot be seen
No matter how bright my jem sparkles
Only one person is blind
To my shine
Who would have imagined that
Out of all those who were incapable of seeing
It would have been someone so close
Closer than anyone else who was blind
Oh father, when will your eyes clear
And un-blur from the barriers of our differences
When, just when will you see with clarity
The talent I possess
