MANY TREASURES
A baby draws first breath, squirms and kicks and cries.
Tears of love and joy soon fill the mother's eyes.
Dew covered cherries glisten like rubies in the Spring.
A flower blooms with life renewed, a robin starts to sing.
So many times our days seem filled with worry, pain and sorrow.
We lose all hope and come to dread the dawning of tomorrow.
I used to fuss and worry and pace along the floor.
Since I've had a talk with God, I don't do that anymore.
He gave me many treasures within my heart to hold.
Things of awesome beauty that can't be bought or sold.
A family He gave to me along with friends to love.
The treasures most worth having, come from high above.
As if this treasure was not enough, He opened my eyes to see.
There, in Heaven, was a house built just for me!
I looked within my soul and feared it all was lost.
With love, God smiled and said, His Son had borne the cost.
At once with love, my heart was filled to the point of overflowing!
I looked anew within my soul, and saw that it was glowing!
The treasures of God surround us, if we but stop and see.
They often teach a lesson, He throws that in for free!
Where once I thought that life was hard, difficult at best,
I now find it's treasures, my outlooks' been redressed!
So turn off that old TV and head on out the door.
When you've gathered all your treasure, God will only give you more!
