An ordinary phenomenon of the sea life into a beautiful poem, so well-crafted. This is what Rose Marie, a poet, is.

The invader sand that got into the oyster was never driven out or ejected ! 'Instead it was coated And treated With warmness And kindness.'..... Finally the sand that first irritated the tender body of the oyster, through her patience and forbearance was turned into a priceless pearl....! You have beautifully condensed the story of this great transformation! A sure 10

I was attracted by the title of this poem, and after reading it, I realised the great analogy, and the context in which it is used: kindness, it is as a pearl. A wonderful and original poem!
