Diamond in the Rough

This poem arrived last night by email

Diamond In The Rough
It takes time to make a diamond.
They are rare, symbolize value, sought after, and no one ever has the right amount.
October 15th, 1908 began a trek for a special gal born on an island named Diamond.
How fitting, now 100 years young, matriarch of loved ones too many to count.

Gladys, you are the diamond in the rough.
Rough times you endured, emerging glowing, shining and tough.

Like a diamond you set an everlasting glow for those you have touched.
Our love and feelings for you will never be too much.


Love The Dahlins
