Keep all your treasures
in your heart.
None kept there
are ever lost,
broken,
or stolen.

Treasures of soul value
not sold value
won't leave you
crying over a
broken vase
or lost diamond.

This price isn't cheap
cost comes high
with belief,
wisdom;
and courage.

These kinds of things
multiply when spent
and never
leave you short
when you're low
on the rent.

Far from rambling Sharyn.
I wish my late night thoughts were as beautiful and insightful as this

Hello Sharyn,this is not a comment but a question  Texas is as big as France, I would like to know where do you live in Texas? (I try by email but it didn't work)

Good morning, Sharyn!

"Keep all your treasures
in your heart.
None kept there
are ever lost,
broken,
or stolen."

~ Ah, so true! ~So true!

"Treasures of soul value
not sold value"

~ Clever! A memorable gem for me to remember!

I appreciate this divine dose of wisdom from you this spring morning!

Have a great day!

Linda

I have often said that there are 2 kinds of people in this world: 1) people who love things and 2) people who love people -- your lovely verse helps lend credence  to that philosophy -- nicely done...thanks for sharing

Sharyn,

This is fine work, with a valuable message.  You should stay up late more often.

I'd throw another line in the third strophe.
