the pearl Of great price, represents a rare gem,

There is another pearl Of great price. One
which needs struggle, sacrifice and constant
guarding to bring it to perfection. And that
pearl is a tiny pink bud of a baby that is more
precious than any gorgeous jewel. That pearl
is something that makes the poorest woman rich

a tattered beggar for all her rare gems and
wealth.
