A Pearl

I am a pearl

I was born a piece of dust

But you who formed me

Made me into a beautiful pearl

I was broken

Did not think I could be fixed

But who you formed me 

Are making me into a beautiful pearl

A pearl whose heart is weak

But is getting stronger

A pearl who once was in the dark

But is now in the radiant light

A pearl who once felt lost

But now is found

A pearl who has found love

The love that comes from you
