Diamonds

Like a diamond, shining in the Sun
Facets of her beauty, glorious
Filled with light, like moonbeams forever
dancing neath a blanket of starlight

Seeking wisdom in simplicity
Hoping for honesty, free from pain
Every breath is pure and needful
Shedding tears for what we never knew

Forgive the past for it haunts me still
Living falsely, hiding who I am
Bless me Father, for my sins remind
me that I am human after all

In your shadow, I am now fading
Wanting for the sun to give me life
Drawing strength from the depth of sorrow
Making pages from my discontent
