The Real Treasure

All that glitters is not gold. I'd rather have a hand to hold.

The world's a cold place
that makes me shiver
So many speak of promises
that they don't deliver
& they just don't care
The world is so full of takers
so when you are a giver
you lose time & time again
You find as you go along
that it's hard to find a friend
Someone who's true
someone who's there
till the end
So when I found you
I praised the Lord
The takers can have their gold
they can stash & hoard
Because the real treasure
is in your smile
There is no greater pleasure
I drive for miles
To be in your presence
to feel your glow
I wanted to take the time
to let you know
That you are everything
the world is not
That you melt the ice
with your warmth so hot
They may pass you by
but I realize
That you are the sparkle
in my eyes
Words are weak
they cannot truly express
Though I may speak
my heart says it best.
