Best Treasure Chest Poems

“The heart hath its own memory, like the mind, and in
It are enshrined the precious keepsakes, into which is
Wrought the giver’s loving thought.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dear Treasure Chest

Invaluable is tender love’s domain,
that ruby red that lies beneath the breast.
But just as precious is the treasure...

I have a wooden cedar box
Filled with precious things
Most of no value to you
But joy to me it brings

A copper penny, 1961
The year I was given life
A withered old white rose
From the day I became a wife

Two certified legal documents
That tell me that I am...

To find my hidden treasure 
No need for a tape measure
“X” does not mark the right spot
Treasure hunters get one shot

Unravel my hidden code,
and watch my treasure unfold
The key is words you utter
Express, exclude the clutter

Experience grown riches 
A broken heart now bridges 
Unlock yourself...

Poets, Open Your Treasure Chest Of Words

Poets, dare to present what your heart speaks
let it roam other realms, true meaning seek,
venture into lands with magical shores
sail a hundred ships, seek a thousand more!

Answer Art's greatest dedication calls.
As did those resting in its golden halls.

Poets, open...

I open up my chest
You see my beating heart
I sometimes wear it on my sleeve
If ever we're apart

I know I should be guarded
Protective of this flesh
But then again your gaze upon me
Rejuvinates to fresh

I open up my tiny realm
Allow you to step in
The veil between...

I have a box upon my shelf
Containing precious reminders, of life's wealth

My very first bible, I got when I was nine
The very first book, that was just mine!

A plastic cameo, my mother had
And wore in 1958, when she married my dad

A purple painted rock, made...

Treasure Chest of Memories
Cleaning out my closet a chore this is sure to be.  A day at best to dig through this stuff packed and stacked to the ceiling.  Now, where to start and what to keep! Might as well start here at...

So, you want to know what is in my chest.
Well there is no silver,
there is no gold,
There is no hope,
there is no love,
there is no girlfriend;
there is no food,
there is no charm,
there is no honesty,
there is nothing in my chest.

It is empty,
filled with cobwebs and...

Gold
Shiny, pretty
Sparkling, exciting, mesmerizing
Jewel, tiara, horn, stone
Dulling, disappointing, fooling
Dirty, ugly
Rock

Grandpa's Treasure Chest  

 
 
In the corner of the attic
covered with a dusty tarp
Was a neat wooden chest
It was stamped 1942
Excitedly I opened it up
hearing the hinges creak

Inside to my suprize
were pieces of Grandpa's life
His uniform from WW II
It was folded neatly in...

My treasure chest is slowly filling up
Silly letters I wrote to my friends
Not passed on to them, 
Thinking, they know what they mean to me
Maybe I should have, maybe I still will.

First love letter from a lad in school
Saying my eyes attracted him
My smile and my...

Today I have a treasure chest with gifts so full and free:
Redemption through the precious blood Christ shed on Calvary.
Empowered by His Spirit now to live the life I should,
Assurance from His promises that all things work for good.
Sufficiently supplied with all my need there...

From an early age i didn`t grasp the concept of value of simple commodities.
              I went against the grain,that simply was not me, in hindsight.

The wind is all I've got now
Careless glimpses without heed
Burrow deep into the crowds
Like staggering footsteps
On the lonely coasts,
That had never been treaded on before..
Waves like strangers 
Wash them away,
And so I wonder, why? where?

The safest place for my soul,
By the furious ocean,
Horizon sings to...
