You earned yourself a bauble on your chase for gold,
I only wanted wisdom for the day when I grow old.
You got a broach of rhinestones and a ribbon with your name,
Your quest was for riches, I learned to play the game.
I've had a lot of heartache, you've had mostly cheer,
But time is moving swiftly, my reward is almost here.
Decades have come and epochs have faded,
Old Father Time left us shaken and jaded.
Now your goods are buried and hidden in the ground-
But I'll still look for diamonds to illuminate my crown....

A poem full of wisdom and thoughts to ponder. And I am sure your crown will sparkle with the "real" thing when your name is called. I loved this MW
