'TINY JEWELS'

OUR LONG TIME FRIEND AND AMERICAN GOLD STAR MOTHER, VALERIE FORTNEY, WROTE THIS POEM FOR HER BELOVED SON BEN. WE THINK IT IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL.

TINY JEWELS

Tiny jewels dance in my heart,

tiny jewels are my memories,
my treasure chest of you.
Your voice like garnet,
your laugh like solid gold.
Your love is like fine rubies
deep, vibrant shades unfold.
Your tenderness a fragile opal,
God’s love shining through
Your smile like diamonds,
strong, brilliant and true.
Your life a pearl,
a gift to all who knew you.
Tiny jewels dance in my heart,
tiny jewels are my memories,
my treasure chest of you.
