Mel Merrill Poet Ballad

Ancient Treasure

Ancient treasure, here before you,
Feel it tremble, lightly so;
Steal this treasure, waiting for you,
Precious tales of love and woe.

Here's my heart, you may unseal it
With a smile, and with a tear;
Take my soul, but don't reveal it,
Keep its secrets hidden here.

M :-)
