Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

A Richer Man

Who would not desire coffers of gold,
  
Own sapphires and diamonds to wear on a ring.

Have emeralds and rubies and lustrous white pearls

For the pleasure of owning beautiful things.

But gemstones and gold mean nothing to me

For that which I treasure dims all the above,

Richer am I, than any man living

For who could be richer, than he who has love.
