Valued Treasure
by David R SpellmanThis treasure that I have
Was given to me at birth
Though its taken some time
For me to discover its worth
Within this life we lead
Filled with sorrow and joy
Are opportunities to learn
Providing wisdom to employ
Being fortunate to discover
As so many others may not
The meaning of this gift
And the great value its got
You see, a century from now
I believe that Ill live again
And it will be with my soul
That this new life I did win
And now it's with hope I pray
That I shall see you some
In that once and future
Peaceful kingdom to come 12/17/2001 Author's Note: Written as a response to a challenge to pick a possession which will be of value 100 years from now.
