Truly Bless (My Family Are My Treasures)

I am the eldest of four
When my destiny began
I was a treasure to my mother
A diamond to my father.

A ruby to my sisters
A garnet to my children
A stone to my husband
I am the rock that their depend on.

As I walk through the doors of life
I discover that theres no better treasure
Than those you hold dear to heart.

A mother is priceless
A sister is a comforter
That makes every other day bright
A father is a protector of all protectors 
That put your soul to rest.

Children are jewels 
That never loose their gloss
And a husband is a companion for life.
