In ocean’s depths, where secrets sleep,
A precious pearl begins to creep,
With layers fine, a story spun,
Of time and tides, a treasure won.

Precious Pearl
In ocean’s depths, where secrets sleep,
A precious pearl begins to creep,
With layers fine, a story spun,
Of time and tides, a treasure won.
Born from grit, in shell’s gentle hold,
It finds its form, a perfect mold,
A shimmer soft, a lustrous beam,
Reflecting dreams in undertow’s stream.
Each grain of sand, a challenge faced,
Yet beauty blooms, no time’s erased,
In shades of white and hints of blue,
A gem of nature, pure and true.
Adorned in crowns of kings and queens,
It whispers tales of ancient scenes,
Of love and loss, of hope and fear,
A timeless charm, forever near.
In jewelry boxes, it does reside,
A symbol of love, a cherished guide,
With every glance, a heart shall yearn,
For precious pearls, for lessons learned.
So treasure these gems from the sea,
For in their beauty, we find glee,
A reminder that through trials we grow,
Like pearls in shells, we too can glow.
Embrace the journey, let life unfold,
For hidden within is your own gold,
With patience and care, let your light shine,
For every soul is a treasure divine.
