You Are My Treasure

You Are My Treasure

A Poem by Julian Lorenzana

 

 

 

 

 

 

YOU ARE MY TREASURE

 

MY BEAUTIFUL SPOUSE, YOU ARE MY LOVE

YOU ARE AN ANGEL, MY GREATEST TREASURE

THAT YOU CAN’T MOVE OR TALK, MY DEAR

MAKES ME FEEL SAD BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

 

I REMEMBER HOW YOU WERE IN YEARS PAST

ALWAYS SO HAPPY AND FULL OF LIFE

THERE AREN’T MANY WOMEN LIKE YOU, MY LOVE

THAT’S WHY, MY DEAR, YOU STOLE MY HEART

 

BEAUTIFUL WORDS YOU USED TO UTTER

ENCHANTING SMILES YOU GAVE ME ALWAYS

ENDEARING MESSAGES TO ME YOU SENT

ALWAYS TO TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVED ME

 

BUT YOU’VE BECOME SO QUIET, MY LOVE

ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN NEITHER MOVE NOR TALK

YOU TRY AND TRY TO USE YOUR SPEECH

BECAUSE TO CONVERSE WITH US YOU WISH

 

OH, HOW I WISH WE COULD RELIVE

THOSE NOW FAR GONE DAYS OF YORE

BUT THINKING ABOUT THAT I KNOW

 THOSE THOUGHTS ARE QUITE DEPRESSING

 

TO RELIVE THOSE BEAUTIFUL DAYS

IS IN THE REALM OF IMPOSSIBILITY

I KNOW THAT THOSE WONDERFUL TIMES

ARE GONE AND WILL NEVER COME BACK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I KNOW I HAVE TO BE OPTIMISTIC

BY CONFRONTING OUR SAD REALITY

FORGETTING WHAT IS QUITE OBVIOUS

AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS NOW THE TRUTH

 

I WILL HOPE THAT OUR DEAR SAVIOR

WILL CONTINUE GUIDING OUR TWO DESTINIES

THAT HE CONTINUES GIVING US HIS LOVE

AND PROTECTING US IN OUR PATHS

 

    MAY HE GRANT US STRENGTH AND COURAGE

SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD

 THAT WE REALIZE THAT OUR LIVES ARE PRECIOUS

AND THAT OUR GRIM FUTURE WON’T FRIGHTEN US

 

MAY HE HELP US REACH OUR END QUITE SOON

FULL OF JOY, FAITH AND CONTENTMENT

WITHOUT THINKING OF SADNESS OR MALEVOLENCE

AND FORGETTING OUR TROUBLES OF THE MOMENT

 

I KNOW OUR LORD WILL RECOMPENSE US

AND A GREAT EUPHORIA WILL ENGULF US

BECAUSE AT THE END HE WILL TAKE US

TO ENJOY OUR GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE
