The Greatest Treasure

In These Eyes...I see sunshine so bright,
and peace just like a dove in flight.
I see the beauty of the ocean blue,
and freshness like the morning dew.
I see tears when the day seems sad and gray,
and many smiles to chase the blues away.

From These Lips...I hear a soothing song,
and words of hope when things go wrong.
I hear honesty and truth in the sweetest way,
when others wouldn't know what to say.
I hear laughter, and I am laughing too,
A more joyful sound, I never knew.

On These Ears...I find a place to share
the news of the day, whether gloomy or fair.
I find a ready and willing place
to lay the heartaches and fears I face.
I find love and compassion, whatever my plight,
giving me strength, when there is no hope in sight.

In all my clouds, a silver lining...
When I'm lost at sea, a lighthouse shining...
Softening the blow whenever I fall...
My Mama~The Greatest Treasure Of All
