Not Bought Or Stolen

Can't be bought or stolen
it's a state of mind
a contentment in the heart
not all people find

It's a subtle gift
those who have it smile
not gold or diamonds
gives them their grace and style

They realize what's important
what gives a person true pleasure
can't be bought or stolen
their ability to love is a priceless treasure
