Found : One Ruby
Submitted by Bejou on April 16th, 2018

I walked along the river shore,
feeled mud between my toes,
searched for coloured treasures,
What I'll find no one know.
Maybe a deep green emerald,
as green as Shire grass,
holding within the beauty
of a pretty hobbit lass.
Maybe I'll find a sapphire,
with its certain hue.
A gleaming rock of promise
reminds of sea deep blue.
Maybe I'll find a diamond,
sparkling like a star,
so beautiful and pure
to keep inside a jar.
Instead I found a red ruby,
glinting bright with inner fire,
holding within the magic
found only in the Shire.
