Sunflowers Poem


The Diamond

Come with me
to my world
inside the fence. 
To see the most valuable gem
that I know.
The rough cut diamond
with a face so beautiful.
With 4 white corners
that provide safety.
It has a face 
covered with dirt,
smiling and beckoning
for people to visit.

Come with me
to my diamond
laid in a field of green.
It tells many stories
of passion, grit, and friendship.
5 people dance on its face 
with one extra in the middle.
3 more stay on the borders,
watching the others.

Come with me
to play my game
on the face of a gem.
Not shiny and clear, 
but brown and green.
The gem holds 
the great American game of Baseball.
Telling its stories 
forever.

Inspired by: "Sunflowers" by Mary Oliver
