Treasures So Precious
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Luke 12:34 of the King James Bible
Our family’s treasure is mother dear
Sweetly pervading in home’s veins with cheer
Her nurturing scent wafts inspiring zest
As gracious fragrance of radiant blest.
Dad as hero is treasure in our heart
Securing us in safeguarding rampart
Reinforcing Mom’s dos and don’ts essence
Echoing parents’ marvelous presence.
Precious treasures are siblings with great care
Allowing sweet practice of give-and-share
Revealing family’s beauty so well
Midst bliss exuding serenity smell.
Treasures so priceless are eternal gain
Granted with faith's joy of compassion's reign
Gifts from the Lord Who never makes mistake
Family members midst love to partake.
*2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
