Treasures Mine
Many years I searched for
The gold at rainbows end,
Getting some I wanted more
With no leisure time to spend.
Suddenly the dawning light
Opened my sleepy eyes,
I saw many treasures bright
Glistening in the sky.
The world opened as a mine
With wealth to please a king;
As I seek the more I find,
Added pleaure it brings.
I took a walk one day
And held a real live gem
as a neighbor passed my way,
I caught the smile of a friend.
I had some time to spend
And so rich the delay,
I heard laughter of children
While in their play.
I walked on golden leaves,
Bathed in the suns rays,
My hair caressed by breeze,
My heart held a day.
Costly jewels bought in a store
Are mans joy and his pride
But to me precious so much more
Are the jewels I wear inside.
