The Real Treasure

At the top of the mountain, is a beautiful fountain You can see beauty for miles, brings forth actual smiles As far as the eye can see, many a mountain and tree The water so clear and cold, turns the young from old So the legend has been told, somewhere there is a city of gold With so much treasure, impossible to measure An unfindable find, with pursuit you could lose your mind Or could it be found, rewards abound The real treasure is inside you, that my friend is the first clue You must look deep within, that's how you begin Try to see how others see, move towards how you really want to be It's not easy at all, but you have the ball Go ahead wait till tomorrow, bet on sorrow That's not a guarantee, but wait and see Don't believe me, your thoughts are free Just trying to lend a hand, nowhere near a demand Well I guess I'm done, have fun

Jay, I like this poem. There's wisdom in your words. Also, goes well with Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini". Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. -Richard
