There are no treasures I possess
That bring eternal happiness.
I covet not the things of gold
That some desire to have and hold.
I have no diamonds, pearls and such
That others tend to love too much,
For these are temporary things
To which the Christian never clings.
Better far are the things of God,
The golden grain and bursting pod...
Peace of mind, a contented heart,
A faith that sets our lives apart.
I treasure more my daily breads
Than souvenirs of the ancient dead.
I'd rather have a loving friend,
A wife on whom I can depend.
These are the treasures I possess
That fill my life with happiness.
~ Clay Harrison
A man's life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things
which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15
