Poem: Opal BIRTHSTONE!

OPAL BIRTHSTONE!

(October 16, 2014)  Happy Birthday Andrea!

Take it from a woman who has contemplated,
studied and prayed all of her life.

Who has searched for the impossible goal,
been inspired, and a responsible, consistent wife.

Like a multicolored gel, hardened by time,
composed of particles closely packed, set in its ways.

Many outsiders could question, murmur and say,

Or maybe intuitive, sensitive, a member of a clan,

Part of a unit, a purposeful plan.

So to everything a reason, and place.

Glory and victory in old age, being formed and compacted,
A multicolored face.

What is built and made in a stone
is not to be haphazardly thrown.

A stone with a background color contrasting with a color play,

Ranging from milky white to black, with flashes of
yellow, orange, green red, blue,

And maybe even grey…

A mixture that sometimes might seem a bother,

But here I am, hard as a stone, your loving mother!!!
