More Than Gold
What is the worth of a long, long life,
If when that long life ends,
One has more than enough of earthly wares,
But is devoid of friends?
When I am called before the Lord
To kneel at His Holy Throne,
I hope to report I have treasured love
Over anything else I may own.
The love of family and friends
Is a gift that's beyond compare.
The longest of lives would go unmarked
Without family and friends who care.
