a hidden treasure
that awaits
these precious gems
they glow and glitter
never to be sold
a gift for the price
of growing old
let go of youth
it’s a trade
not to be made
we have a special place
in the hearts
of our blessings
of which
each year
there is so much gain
who would have known
we own
so much love
to give
we live
to watch them grow
their being
like petals
unfold
water them with love
and they bloom
there are no words
for these pearls
of joy
our childrens’
baby girls
and boys…
