My Treasure

Emeralds and diamonds
Silver and gold
Are all treasures that come
from the earth,
Put them together
And they don't amount
To half of what my treasure's worth,
For mine came from heaven
Brought down by an angel
To give me a new lease of life,
And it isn't a treasure
You keep in a chest
It's the woman that I
Call my wife.
