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. For Gareth James' Inspirational Contest Shared no. 1

The worth of a life must be a lot, especially when gold is around $1300 a troy ounce. This is a good write worthy of a win in the contest.
