A NECKLACE OF PEARLS
Pearls are quite special, made by
oysters in the sea,
A few grains of sand get in, is as
annoying as can be,
So the oyster works to sooth the hurt,
forms a pearl for you,
Try and remember this lesson my dear
all your life through.
Then there are spiritual pearls like
truth, wisdom and light,
Find these pearls and treasure them,
keep them shining bright.
Here is a necklace of pearls on this
your baptismal day,
May it remind you to stay good and
kind along life’s way.
