WORTH

Time for something a little more spiritual...

I have known little

Of money or power,

But blessing my life,

This rich, golden shower:

 

Mountain high treasure,

Wealth sea to sea;

I have loved God,

And He has loved me.

Finding worth in things that don't rust will make us find true happiness. I really like the picture. It matches the idea of being adorned in gold by the maker.

This is lyrically superb and truly spiritual in content and the tone - it could be a hymn Im reading.
The phrasing is so beautifully done that the reader floats along with it.
Well written my friend.

Thank you.I don't write music, but I suppose this could work up into a hymn.

Love this. So very true i think we take for granted the love of god, family and friends and get lost in the material things that do not matter!

[Marie]

Thank you.

Life's riches lie in our smiles, laughter and the love in our hearts.
Beautiful poem Marie.

You're welcome.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it is nice when life itself and our faith can make us feel more love and happiness than any money or power could make us feel.

[Marie]

That's very true.

[Woody]

what greater wealth than the love of God and peace of mind?

sumptuous write.

[Marie]

I don't know. Many people want more. I seem to be getting a lot of comments on this particular poem, which I certainly did not expect.

[Jimmy Yetts]

The greatest treasure--a vibrant, loving relationship with The Creator.
Those rich in things probably don't know enough to envy you.
Two incredibly beautiful stanzas, Marie!

Well, He has blessed all of us with treasure, if we only reach for it.
