Diamonds Are Just Stones
You are worth much more than, your my breath my heart
Diamonds Are Just Stones
They all want sparkle
proof in a box
rings to parade
love dressed in locks
But I don’t need glitter
or things that shine
I’ve got your hands
and your time
They chase bright things
like magpies do
but I wake up
and I’ve got you
You don’t ask
you just know
where the quiet lives
where I go
They call it wealth
they name their price
but you bring calm
and heat and spice
Diamonds? Please
they’re just stones
cold, polished
lined in thrones
I’d take your laugh
your stubborn ways
your coffee talk
your sideways gaze
No gem can hold
what you’ve begun
you’re not my prize
you’re the only one

GRANDMA NELSON
Daddy pulled off the interstate, and I saw the all familiar red barn, and I knew we had arrived at Grandma Nelson's farm. I always had mixed feelings about seeing my Grandmother. It seemed she had as many Grandchildren as the old Mother in the shoe nursery rhyme. I saw her as different, but that is not why I hestiated. The truth be known I always got in trouble at her house, and ended up sitting in the car after I had been scolded.

Great work, just polished charcoal

You're poetry certainly shines.
Lovely, Marie. What a beautiful poem.
