PEARLS AND FRIENDSHIP

THE PEARL RING AND OUR FRIENDSHIP

The pearl is your birthstone.
Our friendship is the pearl of my life.
The pearl isn’t created instantly,
But little by little until it is perfect;
Like our friendship which began casually,
Then little by little grew to today’s perfection.
Two different pearls in one ring
Their difference reminds how different we are;
Yet we share the same friendship love,
Respect, admiration and caring shared always.
The extra diamond-like stones,
So bright and beautiful,
Represent the extra-special moments
That we’ve shared through the years.
The variety of pearls and stones is significant
And represents the wonderful variety
We share in our experiences together as friends.
The gold of ten caret is increasing in value
Just as the worth of our friendship,
The circle of the ring is complete and perfect;
And it represents the completeness and perfection
Of our friendship, truly the very best of friendship
That we’ve shared during these years together since 1973.
This gift represents the best of friendship love.
