Treasures
All the treasures I possess
are precious to me,
they're just "things" to others
but part of life for me.
Each little picture or vase
has a history all its own.
Each one holds a memory
completing what I call home.
Through time as each was added
another memory was built
and I love everything I own
without regret or sense of guilt.
God has given me each one
they are mine to treasure
and I think he smiles to know
they bring me constant pleasure.
From the storehouse of my life
he is building for me
a home far better than this one
mine for all eternity.
Some day all these treasures
will rest in other hands
as I pass beyond this life
into the one he has planned.
There I think I will discover
as he welcomes me home
he has been collecting treasures
each with a memory of its own.
