Treasures

There are treasures in life,

But owners are few

Of money and power

To buy things brand new.

Yet you can be wealthy

And feel regal too,

If you will just look

For the treasures in you.

These treasures in life

Are not hard to find

When you look in your heart,

Your soul, and your mind.

For when you are willing

To share what's within,

Your fervent search

For riches will end.

The joy and the laughter,

The smile that you bring;

The heart unafraid

To love and to sing.

The hand always willing

To help those in need;

One's quick to reach out,

To labor and feed.

So thank you for sharing

These great gifts inside.

The caring, the cheering,

The hug when one cried.

Thanks for the energy,

Encouragement too,

And thank you for sharing

The treasures in you.

The poem above was sent to me by a very close friend. It touched my heart & mind so much, that I decided to put it here. There have been so many people, who I've met on-line, that I wanted to thank them for all they've done for me. ...the people in chat rooms, the on-line Communities, and the two wonderful Groups that I belong to. Love you all.

Thousands of candles

can be lighted from a

single candle, and the

life of the candle will not

be shortened. Happiness

never decreases by

being shared.
