My Richest Prize

When I count the possessions I have in my life And on dark days See them as few. I'm reminded of something I have beyond price All my riches are There in you..... The warmth of your smile, The touch of your hand, The sweet gentleness In your eyes. The unselfish love You unfailingly give, I know you are My richest prize.

What a lovely tribute to the one you love, June! Enjoyed much the read today! And thank so much for your kind comment. Yes, my dear, last year we had lots of snow, but you'll sometimes have it also in England. I studied at Edinburgh Univ. and have been also to some nice places in England. What a lovely place GB is! Feeling sometimes a bit "homesick"! Enjoy your week!...Love, Gert

thankxxx June for your lovely comments and for enjoying my lines ... very encouraging when other poets 'get' the meaning trying to convey.. without going over the line ..breaking the rules.. of being too explicit..luv..

Sylvia, having someone to love is worth more than any material possessions. You are very lucky to have found this type of wealth! Does he have a brother for me? LOL Love, Carolyn
