I used to have a little gem
of oh so many colours.
It warmed the heart
and shone right through the stormiest of weathers.
Always with me,always giving
a smile and a giggle.
When I was sad it showed me
the truth within the riddle.
Such a funny shape it was
kind of pointy, kind of round,
with some little jagged edges,
Ill show you when its found
For a long, long time ago
I put it somewhere safe,
thought it might get broken,
so I hid it just in case
Its inside here somwhere,
under all this other debris,
maybe I could tip it all out,
No, its just too heavy.
Theres only one thing for it,
I'll sort through bit by bit,
and when Im done with all this junk,
Im sure that I will find it.
Ah, there it is Ive found it,
it wasnt even lost,
just I didnt recognise it
under all that dust.
