Rich Beyond Belief

We think of riches as bags of silver and gold that can buy whatever we choose And that happiness will magically follow and never more will we sing the blues But in life there exists something of far more value than money, cars and diamond rings We often overlook it as such as we are so enthralled with our many things It can't be bought and sold like jewels even though it is extremely rare It comes from where, we do not know but upon arrival it fills the air The heart may pound and the words one utters may make no sense in human terms We are totally defenseless to its power as our action quickly confirms But once we succumb to its magic spell the world takes on a vibrant glow And suddenly all that mattered before becomes lost in its ebb and flow And all at once we realize that we have been truly blessed from up above Life's grandest treasure has come our way as we have found that thing called love
