Don’t call me a ruby
I’m far more valuable than that
I’m more precious than any jewel as a matter of fact
Virtue is my nature and truth is etched within
If you had to put me on a value scale I’d be a perfect ten
I’m wrapped in a radiant shade of red, but like I said,
Don’t Call Me a Ruby
I’m far more valuable than that.
I’ve been hand picked by the Master
and polished just so
through every trial and every test my brilliance–it shows
The Word is my standard and its light directs my way
If I fall into temptation, His Word I will obey
I don’t need a man to feel complete, so I’ll repeat
Don’t Call Me a Ruby
I’m far more valuable than that.
I will not be disrespected or neglected
because my Father cares for me
He’s got my heart in his hands and that’s the best place that it can be
If I ever forget my true worth, He’ll remind me with his touch
I’m made in His image–by Him and for Him; that’s why I’m worth so much
I’m more than just my shape, and by the way, let me reiterate
Don’t call me a ruby
I’m worth far more than that!
As always…I’m just sayin’.
I’m not the best at poetry, so let me know what you think by commenting below. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
