If there’s such a category as ‘bad poetry’, I think i’m good at that. But I want to improve. I’m trying. Very trying.

Treasures

We come into this world with nothing.

We gain money and buy material things, but as the decades fall from the calendar, possessions become worthless.

We won’t take anything with us into the ever after.

We leave with nothing.

Embrace life’s true treasures.

Smell the sun-soaked hay bales in the meadow, marvel at the vast cloud formations, hold loved ones close, share a smile, a kiss, a memory of happiness.

Take the inner warmth absorbed from a life of collected observations.

These will be your treasures when you walk naked through the final door and into the bright light beyond.
