Life’s Most Precious Treasure

by C C Keaton
The most precious of life’s treasures
Is also the most challenging in measure
A real one can’t be bought, constructed or stolen, however
It’s absolutely where we derive the most pleasure
And to find a true one makes us all the better
They grow in value the more they’re weathered
And become stronger under pressure
A bond that cannot be severed
The only thing that lasts forever!
Have you guessed yet what my rhyme’s endeavor
Has attempted to display in full splendor
That life is always better when walking together
And friends are truly life’s most priceless treasure
Shalom! You are loved beyond measure!
Jesus said,
“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:11-13 NLT
