Today

Today

Yesterday I was alone

Invisible 

A quick glimpse of nothing

A grain of sand on the ocean floor

I sat and watched

Watched the world go round 

Then everything went dark 

And voices whispered

I felt myself growing

Becoming stronger

I saw the light

And as I looked around 

I had become a pearl 

A beautiful pearl 

I am admired 

I am wanted

Today I am a pearl

Strong and full of beauty

But I will always remember

What I used to be 

What I used to be 

Made me into who I am today

A unique creation
