The Jeweler's Hand
Never run from any blow that life brings to you
...For within you dwells
A yet unknown Character
Whose Celestial Nature is to whatever
May assail you as is the native element of gold
To the mallet of a master jeweler;
Where from each blow delivered
Rises not only the softened sheen
Of a new luster
Found only in humility,
But a new strength realized
For each impurity revealed and removed;
So that gradually we find
A New Life is fashioned for us,
In a whole new form,
By the deliberate crafting of
The Jeweler's Hand.
