Seeking Treasure

Love is a treasure which all of us may hold It carries us through life, from newborn to old Love shows mercy where other forms clearly do not It consoles our very existence and simply can’t be bought Treasures we’re always searching; monetarily so to speak Love is a priceless gift of eternity; something all of us should seek All the money and riches in the world cannot fill the empty void The only path to happiness is love when it’s abundantly enjoyed Love will never leave you, though pain is one of its side effects One dosage of erroneous love and your heart will fully reject Love will give you guidance; helping you in your time of need Its bond can never be broken; there’s too much emotion for it to feed Although it can be agonizing and sometimes let you down As quickly as is dissipates, a new love again is found It will help you through all conflicts and ease your mind at rest Love is never taking; giving is what it does best So treasures we may be seeking subconsciously in our minds But what we’ve taken for granted is a wonderful gift so easy to find Use your gift wisely; don’t misuse it and discard it to the side For our treasure has been with us always; in our hearts, deep inside © Stacy Lynn Stiles
