My Richest Prize

When I count the possessions
I have in my life
And on dark days 
See them as few.
I'm reminded of something
I have beyond price
All my riches are
There in you.....
The warmth of your smile,
The touch of your hand,
The sweet gentleness
In your eyes.
The unselfish love
You unfailingly give,
I know you are
My richest prize.

Gert W. Knop Date: 10/24/2010 8:37:00 AM What a lovely tribute to the one you love, June! Enjoyed much the read today! And thank so much for your kind comment. Yes, my dear, last year we had lots of snow, but you'll sometimes have it also in England. I studied at Edinburgh Univ. and have been also to some nice places in England. What a lovely place GB is! Feeling sometimes a bit "homesick"! Enjoy your week!...Love, Gert Login to Reply
