Everything Precious Must Be Covered
Buried deep down under the ground.
Is where I shall be found.
You cannot get to me easily.
Through digging and mining it shall be.
"What am I?" you question.
"Why was I covered in soil? Ton after ton?"
"Why was I hidden in the womb of the earth?"
"Why did you have to go through a long and tiring search?"
"I am special" I simply say.
"I am not yours" now look away.
A sparkling beauty I am, no doubt.
You are bedazzled; words fail to come out of your mouth.
I am like no other.
The more you stare the more to you I look prettier and prettier...
I am a Diamond. I am precious.
You stare at me motionless.
This is why precious things must be kept covered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am found deep down at the bottom of the ocean.
Covered and protected in a beautiful shell.
A round, white and delicate sphere.
Shiningly pure and sparkling like a tear.
I am nothing else, but a pearl.
An angelic classy beautiful pearl.
Winning the hearts of girl after girl.
Sure enough you need not be told.
Precious I am beautiful and bold.
This is all I can say, the reason why I am kept covered
To your dismay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~
What am I? I am gloriously golden.
And sometimes known as the noble metal.
At all times I shimmer and dazzle.
Most charming am I, it makes you baffled.
Everybody wants me, and allegedly needs me.
But to get to me, you must pay a large fee.
Where am I found though?
Up, up or down below?
I am gold.
And where I am found you shall be told.
Way way down under the mine.
Covered under layers and layers of rock.
I am gold.
Precious am I.
This is why I am kept covered from your greedy selves and eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything precious our lord created is covered and hard to get to.
Our beauty is hidden from you.
"Why do I wear the Hijab?" is what I am repeatedly told.
So let me tell you; I am worth much more than any diamond, pearl or gold
I am precious. I am special.
This is why my beauty is kept hidden
