5 Star Girl

I know a woman

She's a 5 star girl

Like sand does in an oyster

Life created her as a pearl

She never used to like herself

And the path she walked was hard

Always wanting to be another
Life's reality was dark

She lived with people who like diamonds
And emeralds, rubies, sapphires too
They thought pearls were really boring
And she knew she'd never do

She dressed up in fancy clothing
And got jobs toward the top
she thought if she tried hard enough
That she could fool the lot

She'd pretend to be a diamond
Or a ruby, rich and red
The they would really like her
And she'd no longer suffer dread

A dread that deep inside she knew
That the truth she had denied
She'd dishonoured who she really was
When herself she tried to hide

Many years have passed since way back then
And she no longer tries to hide
Her life's committment is to be visible
To let others see inside

A pearl's created out of friction
It begins it's life as sand
The transformation is a process
In which God has had a hand

Today I know a woman
She's a 5 star girl
And she delights in all her glory
She celebrates that she's a pearl!
