The Rarest Treasure
More valuable than any jewels
Finer than any China
Precious like an heirloom
Yet it can't be held.
Shines brighter than gold
It can never be sold
Can't ever be bought
Not found in any store.
It's sough out on one's own
With determination to seek it out
By following one's compass
As one embarks on the greatest hunt
Even if it takes a lifetime.
For out there in the world
Everyone is searching high and low
Every day of their lives
For the greatest and rarest treasure
That is known as love.

This poem is written in a very fragile, yet persevering tone. I love the visuals and emotion it evokes. Nice work!

Many would probably say... money is more valuable, but love of money is the driving force to obtain it. I enjoyed this beautiful tribute to love!
