you are a bead, so special
strung amongst us, on this earth
half look below, on your footsteps
to follow the rhythm you set upon
the remaining half look up, above
by your inspiration, to see stars
a necklace we all are part of
made by hands of the Lord
strung on the same lifeline
holding on to each other
be it in blows of wind, or hailstorm
or weary colors of our skin, in change
to show light upon our dark sides
you remain the bead, so special
at the centre of a heavenly wisdom
to be worn by every heart
