poem of the day May 5 "I want a

"I want a

string of pearls

I want big ones

Rare ones so

I can show

my friends"

pleaded the

young soul 

full of shiney

human intentions

"Do you want

inside pearls 

or outside pearls?"

God asked

as he looked 

over the blank

face of adolescence 

knowing few

at any age

ever know of

the string of pearls

found inside
