The Greatest Treasure

The greatest treasure in the world

is not found beneath the earth

Its bounty has been with me all my life

from the very moment of my birth

When opened, there is no gold or silver

and it isn't hard to find

It comes with unconditional love

and gives me a piece of mind

When times are tough and I get down

it's the treasure I was given 

That gently smiles and always says

I love you and you're forgiven

I wonder how she always knew 

what I was feeling everyday

And when she held me in her arms

knowing just the right words to say

Yes, the greatest treasure in the world

could only come from God above

It is the tender, gentle heart 

that is my mother's love

Hi people!! I didn't write this poem (Obviously I'm not that professional lol) but I really love it and it touches me everytime I read it. Since today is Mother's Day, I thought I'd share this beautiful piece with y'all. Tell me what you all think of it :)
