Diamond on the Beach
He found a piece of glass
Laying upon the soft sands.
He picked it up examining its worth
Deciding it was worth nothing,
he threw it away
Leaving it behind...
The warm frothy waters
continued to caress the glass, and the sun
would shine drying it to a sparkle.
A few months later the same man came
to walk upon the shore line ~
Once again he found the piece of glass
laying out in the open.
Seeing it again he kicked it with his foot
before leaving the beach.
Minutes later a man with a compassionate heart,
spotted the piece of glass.
He picked it up and held it gently in his hands,
Amazed at how it sparkled and shined...
He slipped it into his pocket.
When he got home he took it
out and placed in on his shelf.
Every morning he would rise
and he would look at the piece of glass.
One day he decided he was going
to do something with this piece
of glass. Putting it into a piece
of silk cloth he slipped the piece
of glass into his pocket and walked down to
the village. Here he met with a man who said...
' I have just the thing for that piece of glass.
Come back in two days~
I think you will be very pleased!'
The man left, returning two days later to find
the piece of glass entwined into a
beautiful and vibrant stained glass window.
Now that piece of glass that one man threw away
shines in a spectrum of brilliant colors
in the man's house.
Every person whom was brought to witness
the spectrum and collage of colors stood
in awe, eyes frozen and fixated on what
one can only describe as awestruck by
pure angelic beauty.
The man who discarded the piece of glass was
in attendance. He gazed at the stained glass
window in disbelief and awe of it's radiance,
especially most stunning where the once
tarnished glass on the beach shone the
brightest.
He looked, smiled, then wept.
