There is a company who grow diamonds from horse hair. You give them a tail hair of  your dearly departed horse and you get back a diamond to commemorate your horse. It's a lovely, but costly idea. These grown diamonds look to have a slightly golden tinge. I think this would work with cat dog hair too, even our own. And this is what I get from this poem, that one day, given enough time, we will all sparkle as a diamond — we'll, maybe not all of us x

Cor blimey, I never knew that ..
I did hear something about Michael Jacksons hair being turned into a diamond and blasted into space or something ..
I think you already do Tina .. shine that is .. I doubt I ever will x

Hello Neville, I know many windowed folk who had their loved ones ashes turned into a diamond and set in a ring or necklace. It’s becoming more and more popular 

your poem really made me think of that saying “A diamond in the rough” someone who does not realise the shine they carry and one day the world will notice, even if it is after they have left this earth

Wonderful and powerful short my friend. Glad I thought to check your poems today 😊x
