March 5, 2016, Chula Vista-
I laid a diamond in a vault,
Some five years ago today.
A hatchling gem sprouted wings,
and found his own way.
Much happened to burnish
away the rough,
both for mother and for son.
I think of those who have not
seen their shine,
It’s for them that my tears run.
I really like the imagery and the last line.
