What value do you place on love? It can't be bought or disposed of it can't be felt outside the heart it can't be held or set apart. What value do you place on faith? It can be haunting as a wraith it can be painful when measured it can be common yet treasured. What value do you place on trust? It can't distinguish love from lust it can't die if friendship driven it can't last if falsely given. What value do you place on pride? It can only be felt inside it can be more precious than gold it can motivate young and old. What value do you place on hope? It can't do more than help you cope it can't forestall hunger or thirst it can't separate bad from worst. What value do you place on God? He can leave you completely awed He can live in your heart and soul He can heal you and make you whole. (Rhyme) 4/19/2017

many good questions with a great rhyming scheme and poetic feel. I am sure the answers you would received would probably be all quite different, but that is ok too. Nicely done.
