There are times you meet someone
A precious pearl in the business of life;
Like healing balm they are
with wise words and smiles.
Your whole being feels brighter
your eyes start shining again.
You treasure these pearls
whether they stay long or short
keeping them safely in your heart,
Take them out ever now and then.
Hoping that I might be a Pearl
and one day give light to someone;
Give kindness with deep attention,
switch on a light within them.
Pearls that they can also take out
ever now and again;
Make them smile and hum.

Thank you Balroop, there are many metaphors for covering these precious beings.
One wonderful friend in America said to me; you will always have real estate in my heart.
I got it though and it made me tear eyed. xx
