The Jewel

The Jewel

by Joshua Silva

Like the morning dew

Is blessed to know

The beauty of a rose

So to was I blessed

To know the vision

Of her perfect beauty

Blessed to have known

The gentle touch of her lips so soft

Against the roughness of my own

If only even for a single moment

Blessed to feel her love hold to me now

Though I cannot feel the embrace of her arms

No greater dream have I known

Than the dream of her beauty

No greater hope have I held

Than the hope of our love united

For this hope and this dream

There is no battle I would not fight

There is no distance I would not travel

For this hope and this dream

I would give everything

And pay any price

There is nothing in this life

Of greater value

Or of more precious beauty

Than just the sight of her

There is no treasure in the sea

Which could diminish the worth

Of the sweetness in her touch

Deep in her heart there awaits

The rarest treasure of them all

Deep in her heart there rests

The Jewel of her sacred love
