On Treasures


My Great Treasure 

My great treasure is as a pure diamond
As a diamond, gauzy, as a diamond, brilliant.
And I am not sure if it is enough.
My great treasure is more expensive than gold,
more sizeable, goes beyond the material stuff.

My great treasure looks like a ruby,
Beautiful, unique and emanating passion.
It's so special that nobody would hesitate on steal it.
Knowing how precious it is and the wonders it brings.
People last years looking for this and I already have it.

But there’s a difference between a treasure and my Great treasure.
My great treasure is a woman, a warrior woman,
who takes off her armor to give me love.
Who can make everything possible with the help of the Lord.
That teaches me everytime in the school of life.
Jealous? I guessed. That woman is Mom.
