Treasures In You

By George P. Lumayag

During the exploration period,
Treasures were the biggest routes of great explorers.
 
And, now, a treasure is the reason
Why I speak before you, Sharlaine on your debut.
 
It’s my pleasure to speak about treasures
That I wish you may have for a lifetime.
 
I have offered you a metaphorical jewelry box and a jar
For you to keep all your treasures.
 
Be open-minded, be compassionate, and loving
‘coz treasures are not only precious stones.
 
Try to consider good words
and sweet memories are also your timeless treasures.
 
You should share to all that such lofty reasons reside
To their minds, hearts and souls!
 
Happy 18th Birthday, Sharlaine!
