Treasures of the Heart
Treasures Of The Heart
By Ross Mabey
My heart holds many treasures,
Most are words, of genuine praise.
They're not material wealth, or money,
That can be wasted, on things of temporal days.
Words of encouragement,
To those who need a hand.
To comprehend life's experiences,
To help them understand.
To make us stronger and appreciate,
Those positive experiences, that life has brought along
That true love and friendship, are worth more,
Than all the gold traded in New York, or in Hong Kong.
Without true love and friendship,
What empty life it would be.
With nothing, but avarice to live for,
And no hope of ever being free.
This poem beautifully reflects on how the riches of the heart, our kind words, support, love, and friendship, far outweigh material possessions. Ross Mabey emphasizes that those emotional treasures sustain us, giving life meaning beyond transient wealth.
