Emerald Cove

A young lad in the dirt does delve,

Searching for something special to unearth.

His hands dig and sift through the sand,

Until something truly wondrous hits land.

Inside a small ore the boy found, An emerald so rare it made his heart pound.

This gem, fit for even royalty,

From all its dust and grime was set free.

The boy's life in moments changed bold,

Never before had he ever been so told.

The power of discovery in this world a mystery,

Proving fortune can appear out of history.

He held the emerald close to his heart,

It bringing with it a feeling of hope and an awe apart. His newfound knowledge flooding his soul, That wonders like these do still exist untold.
