The greatest treasure I found
By Wikhaiinn
You don’t need to pay for it,
To dig hard and beat up the ground
Nor to steal and cheat in order to take a treasure,
For those are only illusions
That fascinates you,
Sometimes
The treasure is the recipient itself
And sometimes you have it yourself…
They said
Education is the only gift they can offer to us
But what if we don’t have that?
They did all their best to earn money,
They work hard
And collected lots of it
They ran a business to make you live,
But is that really worth living?
They showed
Everything they can give to me
They gave beauty, glamour, talent and intelligence
Gave good manners and high birthmarks
Experience and trademarks
Everything that shines bright in the modern human eyes
Anything that captures the attention of my idle hands,
All that priceless things,
They are no treasure, no silver, nor gold to me;
Nothing compared to love;

The thing that brought all those gifts in this beautiful place;

Love that is given to every one in grace…
No other thing above love,
No other gem above the horizon…
Proven by memories and hurt,
I prefer to believe
That this is the greatest treasure I found
Given to us by the Lord above
Indeed specially for us to have and perceive,
Like no other gift in a wrapper and knot
Truly priceless,
Priceless than any other priceless treasure
Immeasurable by thoughts,
The greatest treasure I found…

Aw this is beautiful - which I know sounds very cheesy, but it is! I got two things from this, the love of peers, or the love of a lover. Ok three - the love of God. It's a very moving read, you always do such a good job! ~ Nixie

This is a very beautiful poem. It is like the man who found a precious treasure and sold all he had to buy the field that it was buried in. Keep inspiring.
