For He was the light of
Heaven, Reflecting off
each of the stones. The first gem,
He said, is an emerald,
And it’s for endurance alone,
For all the nights you waited
up, For your children to
come home, For all the
nights by their bedside,
You stayed till the fever
went down, For nursing
every little wound, I add this
emerald to your crown.
A ruby, I’ll place by the
emerald, For leading
your child in the right way,
For if you hadn’t
taught them about me,
They wouldn’t
be here with you today.
For always being
right there,
Thru all life's important
events, I give you a
sapphire stone,
For the time
and love you spent.
For untying the
strings that held them,
When they grew up and left
home, I give you this one for
courage, Then the Lord
added an amethyst stone.
I’ll place a stone of garnet,
He said, For all the times
you spent on your knees,
When you asked me to take
care of your children,
And them for having faith in me.
I have a pearl for every little
sacrifice, That you made
without them knowing,
For all the times you went
without, To keep them
happy, healthy, and growing.
And last of all I have a diamond,
The greatest of all gems,
For those mother’s
who lost their children,
When they came home
to heaven before them.
This is the most precious
sacrifice, So I give the
most precious stone,
For I know just how you felt,
I too lost a child of my own.
After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, Heaven is now complete,
For every mother has her crown of jewels,
And all her children are at her feet.
