My Treasure Chest

My treasure chest within my soul, how you have grown and yet are never full. Deep with smiles of family and friends, my treasure chest full of hope, full of love, memories that will never end. My treasure chest an endless vessel that I will fill of my own choosing, of good thoughts and of good will, never to be stuffed with bad dreams or ill will. I have molded you, forged you to be deep, strong and sturdy, to enjoy the dreams that never sleep. My treasure chest within my soul, how you have grown and yet are never full. Dreams can be comforting, but I am no dreamer, I will fill my treasure chest with life of reality, laughter and love, my treasure chest my treasure trove, my treasure chest within my soul…Poetry by Dean
