POEM: RUMI - My son; you are the diamond

I swear my dear son, 
no one in the entire world is as precious as you are. 
Look at that mirror. Take a good look at yourself. 
Who else is there above and beyond you? 

Now give yourself a kiss and with sweet whispers fill your ears to the brim. 
Watch for all that beauty reflecting from you and sing a love song to your existence. 
You can never overdo praising your own soul. 
You can never over-pamper your heart. 

You are both the father and the son, the sugar and the sugar cane. 
Who else but you? 
Please tell me who else can ever take your place? 
Now give yourself a smile. 

What is the worth of a diamond if it doesn’t shine? 
How can I ever put a price on the diamond that you are?
