You’re a Diamond (excerpt)

by Joy Baldoz     

Rough on the outer surface. Layers to who you are 

Bit by bit The Masterpiece-maker is shaping your precious heart 

What’s hidden underneath – Your Maker already knows 

A vision of brilliance and potential in you – Even thought it might not fully show 

But did you know? 

You’re a diamond! 

Just needing to be set free! 

A diamond in the rough – That’s meant to shine brilliantly! 

Did you know? 

Has anyone ever told you so? 

Well, just in case you didn’t know 

I’ll say it again 

And may the whole world know 

You’re a diamond! 

You might not believe that this is true 

But there’s SOMEONE who lovingly believes in you… 

You’re a diamond! 

You’re so treasured! 

You’re so precious! 

A diamond to be set free! 

ALL diamonds in the rough – are meant to shine brilliantly! . . . .
