What a pearl means

What a pearl means
A pearl means beauty, beginning, and a long future
It holds great suprise, and is very sacred
it is so much more than a name for someone, its a term of endearment

Thank you for what you gave me last night
it came at a point when I wondered how I fit in
I was struck my sadness and weariness that I wasn't a part of what was going on
but you brought me into the world, and showed your love for me

For that I will be eternally grateful
the timing was perfect, the poem amazing
I loved it with everything I had
and the words were my story, my life

How did you know?
the pain that i was experiencing, I've tried to hide
The doubt that I felt I tried to overcome
but with a simple gesture, you made me smile,

To know that someone cares that much, amazes me
in a subtle way, you reaffirmed all that sorority was supposed to mean
I've experienced it, but not in a long time
I took for granted what friendship and sisterhood really was

but your poem reaffirmed that you have faith in me
in a time when i need it most
in a time when I'm searching for who I really am
and questioning my future plans, am i smart enough?

You told me to keep pushing to hold on
and that I will do
with the the love and support of you and many others
to know that someone cares in this cruel, shallow world is a gift from above

you are my angel,
the one who knows how i feel without saying a word
you will never know how much your gesture means to me
sometimes it's the littlest things that mean the most

who ever said that
I never believed it to be true, until this case
you reaffirmed my beliefs in both sorority and myself
and you showed me love all in one gesture

never doubt that i care for you
never doubt that I want to make a difference
and promise never to forget me, even when distance may separate us
you will always be in my prayers and in my heart, and your poem will hang as inspiration and memory of last night

you are my pearl, my friend, and most of all my sister
when i was your ruby, i felt so out of it
i didn't know where i fit in, I didn't feel that i did a good job that you would remember me
but pearl, ruby, both share a great beauty, and a great bond with each other
