Material Possessions

Material possessions

Material possessions 

Hardly ever last

But there is one thing 

That will last 

In this lifetime of ours

And it is one of the 
greatest treasures

That we could ever 
give or 
receive from anyone

And it cannot be 
bought at any price

Because it is something 

That comes from 
the love 
that is given or received

From another persons heart

And that alone is priceless

Yes, indeed...Dean, love that comes from another person's heart is very priceless and you have expressed it very well in your inspirational poem! Giving is being generous, and receiving is being thankful...it's so true for someone who can treasure them both in his heart. I wish you all the best in your writing endeavors, and may God bless you! Love, light, hope and happiness, Andrew.
