Chasing Fool's Gold ... Treasure to find on long journey's wake Riches beyond compare be mine to take Brass, silver, platinum and gold Glimmering metals to capture and hold Diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires Come gleaming beams of facets desires Necklaces, bracelets, tiaras and rings Gifts to behold that sparkle and sing Set upon my trek's adventure and path Road before me promises toil and wrath So why travel to dangerous lands afar? Alluring wealth, be my wish upon a star? To look no further than to my own gems Family's support, no matter the blems Child's gifts sparkle more than jewels Chase love's riches, lest I be the fool M.A. Miller 07.26.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive. M.A. [This message has been edited by MA Miller (edited 07-26-2000).] |

MA, this was lovely. I especially loved the line "childs gifts sparkle more than jewels". Something about that really got to me. Take care, Juls |

M.A., to recognize the genuine treasures in life and be able to inscribe that message to verse as eloquently as you have is a sweet gifting to your readers. Thank you.
