Jimmys Inspirations

There are so many treasures
That’s offered to us for free
Yet without value to be measured
Some people simply cannot see

They’re so often overlooked
While they’re presence cannot be denied
Unless they’re captured in a book
Most people let them pass on by

The treasures that I’m speaking of
Are things we encounter every day
They’re special things that some people love
While others let them slip away

The beauty of a rose
Sparkling in the early morning dew
A tree waving as the wind blows
In springtime with sky’s of blue

A sunset over open water
Waves lapping against the shore
A loving embrace between Mother and Daughter
A puppy in the window of a pet store

A grassy meadow of rolling hills
Wildflowers growing free
The sheer elegance of a daffodil
Are all priceless treasures to me

These simplicities of everyday life
Are the treasures of which I speak
Like the faithfulness of a newlywed wife
Or a loyal pet curled up at your feet

Some consider riches to be fortune and fame
But never appreciate what’s before their eyes
I feel totally different with nothing the same
Like the difference between the truth and lies

I count my blessings each and every day
To be so fortunate to be able to share
All the treasures that come my way
Each one so precious and oh so Very Rare!
