Gold is just a color
Diamonds only glitter
Glass is easy to shatter

Silk is just a fabric
Fur coats cause havoc
Lace? Associated with arsenic

Mansions require maids to clean
Satin has an annoying sheen
Of porcelain I'm not very keen

French poodles are too persnickety
Limousines too rickety
Strong perfume is smelly

Cash? I've no patience for greed
Gadgets are tricky, please take heed
Of fame I've no real need

But the truest friends are something rare
More desirable than riches, this I declare
Diamond in the rough- A person hard to snare

And in my mind, with you, nothing can compare

I hope you know how much I care
