    The Lament
    I weep because I know.
    Just a speck of carbon in a diamond mine,
    Unable to form a significant crystal,
    Forming a big enough crystalline to be seen,
    Leaving an outgrowth to be remembered,
    A legacy with regard.
    Significant to reach the heart;
    To touch the mind;
    To enter the soul;
    Remembered by the multitudes;
    Yearning for what is in grasp......almost embraced;
    Then washed away by a big wave,
    Over-coated By love wrapped and cuddled; 
    Nurtured by one's mind;
    To Last, to be remembered, unforgotten.......
    To be the difference!
    I weep because I know.
    Just a speck of carbon in a diamond mine,
    Unable to form a significant crystal.....
    Forming a big enough crystalline to be seen,
    Leaving an outgrowth to be remembered,
    A legacy with regard.
    Significant to reach the heart;
    To touch the mind;
    To enter the soul;
    Remembered by the multitudes;
    Yearning for what is in grasp......almost embraced;
    Then washed away by a big wave,
    Over-coated by love wrapped and cuddled; 
    Nurtured by one's mind;
    To Last, to be remembered, unforgotten.......
    To be the difference!
