-Treasure

In this fast paced world of ours
I still enjoy lifes simple pleasures
It’s the uncomplicated joys
That I truly value and treasure

I treasure the joy of nature 
Simplistic, raw, complete
The joy of family and friends
Loves connections pure and sweet

I treasure the joy of a  beloved pet
A four legged member of the family
The unconditional love they possess
Has no end in it’s entirety 

I treasure the joy of home
Shelter safe and secure
Precious blessings and comforts inside
Where happiness is assured

I treasure the joy of freedom
Fortunate to safely roam
In a country that I love
A country I call home

I treasure human Kindness 
One of give and share
Of unselfishness and acceptance
Mankind simply being aware

No desire for material riches
Or the need to be entertained 
I treasure lives special moments
Where lasting memories remain

I treasure affection and humour
Laughter is a true pleasure
In this fast paced world of ours
I’m so blessed with glorious treasures!

You are a "treasure" Deb. This poem goes on my FAV's list my friend. These are the treasures we need to remind ourselves of when we are challenged and frustrated with the world we live in. Thanks for the comforting and encouraging poetry. :-) Hugs, Bill

They are the natural treasures in life, Many in this world would like just a few of them. Possessions sometimes don't make for a happy life; they become an encumbrance. Take care. Shirley X
