Needing To Believe
Joneve Mc Cormick
The vendor offered an uncut diamond,
the price was irresistable
but what he firmly, tenderly held
looked dull;
shaping will turn on its shine
he promised.
She needed to believe him
and hold her hopes high
and not disappoint either;
she bought cut glass,
warned from within,
unwilling to change course.
