The Treasure Chest
The Treasure Chest
©July, 2013
He searched everywhere, looking high and low,
Looking for that pot of gold.
His search was methodical, deliberate and slow,
Nothing could remain in hold.
After months of pursuing this lifelong dream,
He accepted the futility of his pursuit.
On final effort of this hapless scheme
Brought reward beyond dispute.
He uncovered a treasure beyond compare.
He couldn’t comprehend its import.
The heirloom upon which he did intently stare
Brought joy that his dream he didn’t abort.
The moral of the story is quite simple you see,
Pursue and pursue to the end.
Never, ever a quitter be
And you’ll have more than moola to spend!
