Beloved Pearl

It was a sunny day, the sea smooth as a pond

The pearl fisher excited with what he had found

In his hand the largest pearl he had ever seen

Just fit to be presented to a graceful queen

He closed his eyes and for this catch he thanked his God,

Unaware of a wave approaching from behind

Before he knew his boat capsized with its full might

And the beloved pearl was lost out of his sight

Since then he has been searching the sea day and night

From one end to the other up and down, left and right

He has found many gems but not a single one

Could be even a patch on his beloved one
