The treasure of friendship
Growing closer of
When it draws us closer
A light of Gods’ love
The treasure of a moment
Is one we only see
With eye of Gods’ vision
Etched in our memory
The treasure of our story
Only has value
Told within the Word
Perspective of Gods’ view
The treasure of our lifetime
When Gods’ love is known
And sharing of His kingdom
Through our giftings shown
Wisdom of this treasure
Of simplicity
For it Is a binding
Unto eternity
Would you bless me a treasure?
Of heart to pursue
One of the morning
Of light pouring through
Of blessing the eyes
Such beauty to see
To ponder the wonders
Of grace pouring from Thee
Of breathing the air
So fresh and so clear
Stilling the deep
Of Your flowing here
Of filling the ears
With silence and song
A lyric of knowing
That we all belong
Of drawing the soul
With love here of swelling
Such a treasure divine
Of our intimate dwelling
A wander to
Our days gone past
The time went by
A bit too fast
A way of sweet
Simplicity
Not of this life’s
Complexity
When everything
Was family
A comforting
Security
My happy place
Of memory
The grace of which
You blessed to me
Oh Mom and Dad
I hope you know
This treasure to
I often go
Of nothing to hear
No sight to see
I find my treasure
Oh, how can it be?
In the emptiness
Of nothing of me
Food for the soul
Of blessed beauty
Of nothing deserved
All given for free
Showered in love
So generously
Not of this world
Of divinity
Transforming grace
Offers humility
Oh, what a treasure
To dwell in Your light
In this moment shared
Everything’s right
For You bear my burdens
Security, know
In this moments safety
Letting all go
Enwrapped in the Spirit
Love so complete
In this moment drifting
Divinity sweet
Peace of instilling
Presence permeates
This moment transforming
New way, create
A present beautiful
Underneath the tree
Unwrapping it with joy
Empty the box be
Come not disappointment
A gift to contemplate
Same as is our soul
This emptiness equate
Cherish this desire
To be filled with You
Let eye be of the soul
View gifts that we pursue
Lavished with Your blessings
All for us to share
Hope and peace and joy
Love beyond compare
Treasures of divine
Secure from rot or rust
Gift of faith is offered
In You we place our trust
Though beyond eyes sight
Eternal is their way
Store within life’s passing
Nourished when we pray
One within His body
Abundant is Your giving
Emanuel is born
In us Christ is living
Cherish here this treasure
Of emptiness so fine
Forever of the filling
With gifts of the divine
Sent out summer morning
With Moms hug and kiss
Pole and tackle box
With Grandpa now to fish
Climbing in his old truck
In mirror now appears
As smile warms the heart
Their home built through years
Sitting on the shoreline
On the other side
Seeing a great mansion
Alone, owner resides
Someday I’ll be rich
With a house so great
With everything I want
I can hardly wait
Grandpa ponders deeply
From inside words arise
“Sometimes what we want
Is right before our eyes”
God blesses us a free will
Desire drives our choice
Sometimes pause a moment
And seek the Spirits voice
Opening their lunchbox
Grandmas’ note appears
Written to us both
Now wisdom Grandpa shares
“Some people are so poor
All they have is money”
The Word in Grandmas note
“You’re my treasure, honey”
(based upon a quote by an unknown author )
“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
