Read together
In the depths of the ocean blue,
Lies a treasure, shining true,
A precious gem, so rare and bright,
The pearl with its lustrous light.
Found within an oyster's shell,
This organic jewel is prized so well,
A gift from nature, pure and fine,
Its beauty everlasting, divine.
The pearl's structure is a wonder,
With layers of nacre, stacked asunder,
This makes it strong, opaque and pure,
A valuable gem, forevermore.
Its brilliance shines for all to see,
A gift from the sea, a mystery,
And though it may be small in size,
The pearl is a treasure, in everyone's eyes.
So young ones, keep your eyes open wide,
For in nature's beauty, we can all take pride,
And remember, just like the pearl so bright,
Your worth is priceless, a brilliant light.
