The Greatest Wealth

The Greatest Wealth



Your everchanging hue,
The chameleon inside of you
All the black and the blue 
That you pulled yourself through
I must n’t change for anything
Your window of light
Your hello and goodnight 
Your sand and your shore
Your today and tomorrow 
Your shadow stays close by 
A route to a familiar path
Leads me back 
To the reflection in the glass
A journey to the heart that beats
And the lung that breathes
I can not deny the love 
For the love of self
Which is the greatest wealth
Among anything else
