A magical oyster of immeasurable beauty
Doth giveth birth to a pearl of hope.
The doors open and she emergeth from her vessel
And all those around boweth down in unworthy awe.
Their eyes no right to envision this figure set before them
Who possesses not a single flaw.
Her glow so bright it doth penetrate from below
Giving breath to the roses, carnations, and daisies above.
So freely giving is this worshipped one
This one who gloweth with the spirit of love.
There will be no end to this perfect creation
For her glow will live on in the lives of this world.
Never to be forgotten, holding three gifts of being
Hope, breath, and love, the rays of this, the glowing pearl.
