Diamonds Are Forever! Poem by Denis Martindale

Don't simply see unpolished stones
If you want riches soon
And think of those befitting thrones,
Much more than just a boon.
Or else sit back, don't do a thing,
No more than any fool.
Don't think you're rich, just like a king,
Stay like you're back in school.
A million people can dismiss
Real diamonds in the rough,
Each lacking wisdom and true bliss,
For years, still lacking love.
Outstanding riches yet await
Regarding what could be.
Each diamond polished made first-rate,
Valued with quality.
Eventful blessings for Mankind!
Riches granted… there to find…


Denis Martindale June 2020.
