True Pearls
True pearls are not found in oysters
They are found in time
We dread the 9 to 5
Looking at the clock ticking
Why can't it move faster?
We live for the weekend
Most value Saturday and Sunday over other five
Yet every second is just as precious as the next
Yet every minute just as valuable as the previous
Yet every hour just as good as another
Everyday is a pearl of no less value than any other is
Our days are like a pearl necklace
Shinning brightly
Waiting for us to look at it just a little closer
To value each equally as the next
No one pearl is different from the other
Each is just as valuable
Each needs the one next to it to complete the cycle
They mirror each other
Compliment each other
Need each other
Embrace the pearl called "Today"
Tomorrows pearl is always an abstraction
Yesterdays pearl is now memory
This pearl necklace is a miracle gift
To be worn seven days a week
Void where prohibited
