Pearls of Wisdom

I actually had a friend that said this to me-wrote this from that memory.

Pearls of Wisdom
© 2010 Cindy Prince

I had a friend once tell me
How sad that it must be
To not inherit many things
From parents or family

But I said then and I’ll say now
What my parents left behind
Is not in stuff we can touch
But the memories in my mind

Chorus
I don’t have many trinkets
I don’t have Grandma’s pearls
But I have pearls of wisdom
And memories of being a girl
A girl who had so much love
That she carries it through today
Yeah I have pearls of wisdom
That will never rot away

In the rush of living life today
It’s hard to remember what’s real
That love is still what binds us all
It can soothe and mend and heal

As I look back on my life
I see the love so great
Now I treasure it all the more
It’s my final love estate

Repeat chorus

Hello Cindy,

This is a very good write, I enjoyed it.  As I read it over and over, one thing did catch my attention, in the last line of the chorus, the word “rot” distracted from the lyric, and I wonder if “fade” might add to rather than distract from the lyric, JMO.  Kudos on the write.

Speak soon,
Ron

HI Cindy,

A very lovely and touching write, inhertenly beautiful and timless in the emotions it conveys. It’s very well written and has that Vibe. It would make an excellent song.

Thanks, glad you like it. I do like “fade” better. I hope I can get someone to do the music.
