The Pearl Of Great Prize Poem by Gerry Legister

Sharing our dreams, fears, and laughs,
Is a lifetime reading bedtime stories?
Weeping tears, taking showers and baths.
Making someone happy and saying prayers.

These are just a few of the lucid memories
We cherish, love, enjoyed and encouraged.
The thrills gave us pearls of great surprises,
Perspective joy to make us feel appreciated.

Our planet is beautiful and brilliantly defined,
With so many cracks earth is still going strong,
A legacy that seems to find in the searching mind,
Pearls of sublimed luster on the desalinating strand.

We take no flawless journey through this world,
But daily, we make mistakes and hide plenty more,
Degenerate society regenerate until we become old,
Respect moral values and the creation of splendor.

Knowing how to put wisdom and stability first,
Shape the future and galvanize every opportunity,
Make us understand how to learn from troubled past,
Grow in greater determination, intensity and security.

The wealthy prize summaries, stories from childhood,
Portray some of the fondest memories in life,
But every disappointment is a contribution to good,
And our worries can't tell enough about the strife.

For in life, and the jewel we fought for, is a pearl
And every breath takes us higher into the distant cloud,
Growing stronger with every twist of emblematic twirl,
Until huggable halo around our soul gracefully surround.
