Don't ever let any one tell you that you're not beautiful.
You are a most precious gem,
beautiful in nature, unique in design.
One of which all men are hoping to find
A gem that should be strung on a necklace
and kept close to the heart,
Yet necklaces are often only seen in part.
Perhaps you should be on the band of a ring
on a hand like a string,
reminding everyone of your glorious beauty,
Yes for all the world to see the treasure that you be.
But hands are often, time and again
bound to get ***** now and then.
No, not on necklace nor a ring can
all your beauty be on display.
If there was something I could do,
if I could just find a way.
Perhaps on the ear you can hang,
where no dirt will be
But lo, there is hair and hair blocks
the beauty the world needs to see.
Where can I put a gem like you?
Necklace, ring, and earring all won't do
So where can I display a beauty like you?
At last only one place remains,
(Though your beauty I could never contain)
In a case, behind glass, on a stand made of brass,
where dirt nor hair get in the way
where your beauty can be put on display.
Then the world may know what treasure have I,
to hold such a gem as yourself makes me one blessed guy.
