The Clarity of Stone
My ring
Such a sparkly thing
It shines and glimmers
A flashy reminder of you
The cut, so precious and rare
Created for a love that you cannot compare
To any other thing
My ring,
Such a sparkly thing
The clarity of stone
Not quite perfect possessing flaws
That increase its value and rating,
Inflating, like out love, over time
My ring
Such a sparkly thing
The way it holds me
Surrounds me, is always with me
The way you are
My ring
Such a sparkly thing

I adore this! I’m not materialisic, fashion conscious, or in any way obsessed, or even all that interested in the aquisiton of expensive things. BUT, two things I cherish above all other “things” is my wedding ring, and the diamond ring my mom gave me. I love to look at them sparkle, and I’m positively enraptured by them, proud of them, and LOVE for other people to see them! 🙂
So agree with you Carrie – it what we attach to these material things that make them precious – the memories that make them valuable.
Absolutely. It makes the words of the poem flow easily!
Hi Carrie. Yes I am the same way. It’s not about the materialism but I was looking at my ring while at the cottage and missing my Mr. as I was there solo and this is what came to me 🙂
Love it, very touching…
Thank you. I was missing my Mr. while away at the cottage. My ring brought forth the words 🙂
Awe so sweet…blessings my friend
I think the most important point is not the sparkle, but the fact that it symbolizes the circle and never ending love. We need the sparkle to draw attention to the fact that the ring is there in the first place.
I totally ❤ this!
Thank you. 🙂 So kind of you.
Yes I agree, mine just happens to sparkle quite a lot it caught my eye in the sun while at the cottage and missing my Mr. and the words to the poem just came. 🙂
