Diamond Details

There are diamonds in the rough
That find social skills are really tough
They can lack both manners and style
But all of these imperfections can hide
A very lovely, decent person deep inside

There is a saying that diamonds are forever
As a sign that they are indestructible, however
It is not just that that they do signify to people
Long has the diamond been a significant sign of
Lovers thoughts on the eternal nature of true love

You know, diamonds are a girl's best friend
From Broadway musical to Hollywood trend
The song popularized by Marilyn Monroe
This can be true about the sparkling jewel
As the gem does make some girls drool

Whether square cut or pear shaped
They look pretty as they lay draped
Around a persons fingers and neck
With the color, cut, clarity, and carat
You'll sparkle brightly as you wear it
