Once, I found a diamond. A pebble dul and grey. I started to cut and polish it. This pebble of every day.
Once, I had a diamond. A diamond in the rough. I cut and honed and polished it. A true labour of Love.
Once the diamond clear and bright. A beauty for all to see. Shone ever brightky in the night. Shining just for Me.
I put it on a pedestal. Proud as I could be. Another quite dramatical. Stole her away from Me.
Now all things done and said. The hardest thing on earth. Stupidly I did forget. Is a diamond by birth.
Once...I had a diamond
