I wear myjewels everyday They're jewels that you can't see They are notjewels like diamonds or pearls
They arejewels ofmy family
I wear my pride like a crown on my head That I was taught to always hold high I may not come from the royal bloods But my family pride money can't buy
I wear the closeness my family has Like a pin worn close to my heart No wind or snow or far distances
Could ever keep us apart
My family heritage and folklore tales Are my earrings I wear on my ear
Never tire from hearing them over again It's as if! was living there
The family love I wear like a ring There is no beginning or end
You only know ofunconditional love From a family that you call true friend
My faith I wear as a necklace It's as strong as each linkofa chain As each ofus are called to Him in the heavens above We know we will be together again
By Lorraine Valentine
