Colored Diamonds is a collection of poems, based on valuable lessons learned through rich, deep, everyday experiences in life. Colored diamonds are quite valuable, rare and unique, just as our trials and tribulations of everyday life. These diamonds come in different sizes, shapes and colors and represent how our issues affect us in different ways depending on our perceptions, experiences and cultures. But no matter how we are affected, we all experience the same types of problems and from them we learn. We gain valuable knowledge, which adds to our wisdom and helps us grow, from a seed to a flower. This book, filled with rare, but quite similar experiences allows us to share some of our wisdom gained, so that we may be a source to help you deal with some of your issues of daily life.
