Red Ruby

Once upon a time.

Not so long ago.

In a village with grey and gloom.

Lived a little girl named Ruby.

Who was ready to bloom.

Thoughts of creation.

Prohibited to be.

Her mother, father and brother.

All laughed at her glee.

To work, bill and sleep.

Was no life meant to lead.

Her only true companion.

Was the nature that breeze swayed.

No love, knowledge or care.

Ruby would salt her pillow wet.

Till one night in a sleep fast away.

The girl, little Ruby would be new.

When the sun drops sunshine from above.

An evolution grew and grew.

In a village filled with grey.

No color or sparking hue.

Little Ruby would become

The Red Ruby of the sun.
