300
I'm here! Yes, I made it
I carried your burdens and your heat
I took all the pressure you put upon me
It was piled high too thick to be seen
Losing all this color to gain glory
I lie in wait as time went pass
Growing stronger and stronger to make you gasp
Shaken out of the weight
Removed from the heat
Not an eye catcher yet, no not much to see
But with a few cuts and some scraping away
Changes my surface and make a brighter day
Now I'm formed flawless and ready to be seen
As a centerpiece on a golden ring
My shape, a marquise, 3.5 to be exact
Flowing with brilliant light so that I may attract
Attract who you say; of course the love of your life
When you chant these words "will you be my wife?"
Her response will be quick and easy you see
the moment she laid her eyes on me
It was all worth it, the time and the wait
just to hear you both set a date
A heirloom forever I will be
Passed generation to generation on one family tree
Like wine, time increases my worth and just think about it
I came from dirt
