Pearl Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

Pearl



Pearl

There is a pearl firm
yet soft so strong
Its tougher than its beauty says
it really needs to be
This pearl not dead beauty
but alive and thriving from the sea
The ocean is her birthplace
all life began right there
New movement coming to the tides
and freedom in the flow

The ocean touches all the land
the birth of everything
Its the mother of all life on earth
The pearl its progeny
The pearl reflects sunlight
and returns it in new form
The pearl is the eye life
Beauty protecting its creation
It follows through tenaciously
love preparing to let go
A mother eyes reflect that pearl
watching and alert
A child is safe with in her realm
when she's seemingly alone

The mothers head keeps turning
Seeing dangers if nearby
And if it is, she moves and roars
In fierceness to protect
Even doing something else
Those eyes are always turned
Her daughters safe near her
and so would be her son

Margaret is a name
which means the same as pearl
The Margarets of the world protect
You and me and them
It is no wonder really
that Margaret is a pearl
It's right there in her
Daughters smile, her eyes and in her play
another pearl is forming
for the future of some children
This is Margarets' gift of love
It's the loving mothers way..
