Diamonds are forever

Diamonds are a girls best friend
is what some people say,
but what about the biggest diamond
that comes into play.
It's a mans best friend
not one that rests on his hand,
but stays in its place
it's a nice piece of land.
Instead of it sparkling
and shining in light,
it's layers of the earths soil
outlined in white.
Though other diamonds
can only be seen,
you can be part of this one
thats surrounded by green.
You can step in it,play in it
and shine in it as well,
this diamond of beauty
leaves us stories to tell.
Makes history even
and has in the past,
brings joy to hearts
that forever will last.
This diamond always visited
and covered by the press,
It's easier to get to
because the cost is much less.
So you ask,wheres this diamond
my friend after all,
mine is not far
from a giant green wall.

I decided to pick a poem about baseball because it is one of the things that I do know alot about. Baseball is a sport that has taught me alot growing up. It has taught me about discipline, teamwork, and hard work, which are three things that have really been instilled into what makes me who I am today. I like how in this poem the baseball diamond is compared to an actual diamond because it shows a different kind of love, not a want of a rare rock, but of a love of the game of baseball and how it brings people together. I enjoyed this poem and I think it shows how a piece of land can be more than just that.
