What determines individual value? <br />When comparing …what are the clues? <br />What uniqueness carries the most weight? <br />Why? This is the question up for debate <br /> <br />Let’s compare a pebble to a diamond <br />A pebble may be smooth and round <br />A diamond in the rough, is a clear stone <br />Yet… it has a luster desired by thrones <br /> <br />Pebbles are plentiful on the surface of shores <br />Diamonds are rare; found when you dig and explore <br />Rounded pebbles turn to sand over a period of time <br />Faceted diamonds have endurance… this is prime <br /> <br />Let’s decide what characteristics determine worth <br />Both have components of the dirt from the earth <br />One is more common an generates no temptation <br />The other is a commodity and prone to inflation <br /> <br />It is crystal clear to me that longevity is an entity… <br />The capacity to create a sparkle is linked to identity <br />When all the qualities are considered upon reflection <br />Rigid rarity and dazzle are the qualities of perfection <br /> <br />2/3/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pebbles-and-diamonds/
