Gem So Rare
too good to be spoiled by petty
things that get under our skin,
too forgiving to be so marred
by fear to ask for forgiveness,
this chance for us to be together
is, in my drab life, a gem so rare;
too assuring to be threatened
by our being hard on ourselves,
too kind to be so demanding
by being pushy to each other,
this very moment we call ours
is a treasure of tenderest hours.
