Six Pearls

One pearl for a lady with heart wide and loving
Who never denies an embrace

One pearl for the skill that the whole hall is toasting
Accomplishments gone without trace

One pearl like the moonrise eclipsed by her sunlight
Still warm even burdened with care

For one who would carry the needs of the people
One pearl for the strength of the bear

One pearl for the valour of one who steps forward
When all others feel it's too much

To show by example what it means to be noble
One pearl for her labours of love
