Blue Pearl, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

In a vast velvet ocean of scattered light
One precious blue pearl shines bright.
Surrounded by a protective shell
Its great beauty everyone can tell.
Far and wide there is no other
Like this one, my sister, my brother.
To take good care of it we have been urged
Lest if we'd go squandering it we'd be purged.
Tis a treasure given in good faith to us
Should we not be grateful for it thus?
There is a blue pearl shining bright
Won't we do with it what's right?
