Treasure

I gazed upon a jewel one day
First sunlight seemed so precious
Appealed I revelled at my wealth
Gold lustre most infectious

What Star outshines the Sun at night?
What ring is just a metal?
Pride and joy, a fortune keep?
Is love so incidental?

Farthest from a misers badge
The way to fame and riches
Impatient for a loving heart
Their gems within their clutches

Treasured love within so deep
Stones costly imperfection
Lacks shine like yours a soul divine
Outshone by your devotion.
