Jacqueline R. Mendoza Poet Light Verse

A Precious Treasure

Heard the word treasure
Think of a bag of gold
Rare coins
An old book autographed by a famous author

They have a great value
Our greatest treasure is none of these
It is a treasure of life
Our lives are precious

They are not hidden 
Locked in a safe place
Each day we go through fears
Hurts and Opportunities of the world

This precious treasure of life
St. Paul say says is carried in a week
Easily broken
Earthen Vessel

We are the children of Adam
In Hebrew means “one taken from the ground
The vessel is earthen
But the treasure is spiritual

One day at journey’s end
The vessel will return to its native earth
But the precious treasure it sheltered
Be presented into the saving hands of Eternal God

But we hold this treasure in earthen vessel  2 Corinthians 4:7
