like a pearl in an oyster


like a pearl in an oyster
a seed in the ground
a bit of grit planted
a kernel hidden
waiting to build
to expand, to grow
gathered in its season
a harvest, a jewel
a pearl of great value
a bit of wheat, a harvest
joy bursting forth
coming to the surface
rising on the breeze
held in a loving hand
a wonder to see
