Treasures
WHAT IS IT WE THINK OF
WHEN WE THINK OF TREASURE.
WHAT IS IT WHO IS IT
AND HOW IS IT MEASURED.
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM
AND WHERE DOES IT GO?
IF MEASURED IN TIME
HOW DOES IT GROW.
IF SENTIMENTAL VALUE
IS OFTEN ATTACHED.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE
IT CAN NEVER BE MATCHED.
IF IT TRAVELS GENERATIONS
WHAT DOES IS IT SEE.
HOW IS IT SO
IT STILL TENDS TO BE.
IF IT REPRESENTS TIME
IS IT PRESENT OR PAST.
WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE
FOR TREASURES TO LAST.
SOMETHINGS IN LIFE
WE VALUE AND MEASURE.
LIFE IS FILLED WITH
MOMENTS WE TREASURE.
