Analysis of Life is Like Jewels
LIFE IS LIKE JEWELS
By Eula E. Bourne
Life is like a diamond
How it sparkles so!
But do you know the process
It must undergo?
Or what about a lovely pearl
So beautiful, so grand
Can you imagine that it started
From a grain of sand!
And gold has so much glitter
It adds to our attire.
But for it to look that way
It had to go through fire.
Our life is so like jewels
If we should be our best
We must go through trials
For us to pass the test.
For trials make us wiser
And struggles make us strong.
The mistakes we make in life
Help teach us right from wrong.
