The Rarest Treasure

More valuable than any jewels
Finer than any China 
Precious like an heirloom
Yet it can't be held.

Shines brighter than gold
It can never be sold
Can't ever be bought
Not found in any store.

It's sough out on one's own
With determination to seek it out
By following one's compass
As one embarks on the greatest hunt
Even if it takes a lifetime.

For out there in the world
Everyone is searching high and low
Every day of their lives
For the greatest and rarest treasure
That is known as love.
