My Treasure

My treasure chest is filled with you You are the stars in the night sky The one who takes my breath away Seeing you I let out a sigh I searched the world to find you All along you were hidden in my heart Deeply buried in the centre of me The one destined to set me free Each kiss a diamond set in gold You add daily to my treasures You are my everything My source of wealth and pleasures I am the richest of all men Blessed beyond any king My treasure chest filled with you With your love my soul has wings I sit here thankful for the gift of you At times i'm lost for words to say My pot of gold at rainbows end You still take my breath away Treasure Chest Contest Written july15th 2013

I just know that this will do great in the contest. Is this just a poem, or is it your real life? There is a saying - When we lose our father - we lose our pride - When we lose our mother - we lose our treasure.Thanks for sharing...... Lucilla

Fortunately for me my treasure is my wife Mary. As long as we are together I am truly a wealthy man. My Heavenly Father has been very generous to me. Thanks for commenting.

Beautiful Richard....If every husband said these words to his wife on a daily basis and then lived it out in actions....we would see less of the brokenness we see today. Wonderful piece! I applaud you!

And this is how "Men" are truly defined. When they look not at the problems of the world nor of themselves, but the resolutions. The answers. I have too much to say to this. Color me inspired...
