Shining Gems

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)

Free verse
I start my search
Looking for a treasure
Most dear to the heart
On and on I travel
The far distance
Light dances
Before my tired eyes
Oh if only my treasure
Was right before me
Than I realize
The shining gems
I have been looking for
Were right before me all the time
They what we hold dear
They're called children.
