I went to find a treasure And found a rainbow in the sand, A million bits of color That I could hold within my hand— I went to find a treasure And saw a star upon the beach; A five-point wonder, beckoning, Whose glory lay within my reach— I went to find a treasure And felt the sunlight’s rays of gold, And knew I found what I had sought, The greatest jewels are these I hold. |

Steven, Yes, blessed indeed. Thank you. Karilea, Thank you. It is good to be here again - I just wish I had more time to stop in! “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
