When ah first found ye,
You were only coal,
A rough one at that.

Everyday ah try and try again,
But ye were stubborn,
Each time ye didnae wanna become better,
Annoying me time and time again.

Ah didnae lose me patience,
As ah knew it would take some time,
Maybe it would take days, weeks, months,
Even years for ye to become a diamond.

Stubborn ye were,
It's one of the reasons why ah love ye,
Ye tried to be so much like me,
But ah knew who ye really were,
That you can nae hide.

Overtime, you became a marvelous brown diamond,
But ye didnae shine bright like others,
And ah do nae care,
You were mine and only mine.

Ye had yer own beauties,
That of which made ye special,
In yer very own way.

We had our moments,
Good and bad,
Our ups and downs,
But those moments made us who we are today,
And ah am thankful for that.

To them we are only against one another,
But little did they know,
That we got along very well,
What they know is only a facade,
A very good one at that.

Ah can nae deny how you make me feel,
Yer quite special for a diamond,
Supposedly a rare gem,
But you were one ah thought ah'd never find in my life,
Yet here you are in front of me,
Shining as sweetly as ever.

Yer worth more than every dollar,
Ah wouldn't be able to give ye up if ah wanted to,
Ye mean too dearly to me,
And right there yer priceless.

Ye mean to me as much as my family does,
Even if ah do nae always admit it,
Ah care about ye,
More than ye think ye know.

Ah'll always keep ye treasured in me heart,
Along with the rest of who ah love.
