Treasures..

Some people
  never learn
how to appreciate
 what they have....
    what they hold.
            They are so busy
      trying to grab for more
            they allow what was once theirs
                ( so beautiful and fragile)
       to slip through their fingers
    Unheeded
 broken pieces scattered
    like wishes
         ( or kisses)
 Blown on the wind.
  And there are some
                  ( like me)
     who see the treasure
   amid the debris.
  They dust off the pieces,
 to fit them back into a whole.
    And hold on to what they have found
with gentle hands and loving hearts
 For they know
   Treasures
           ( like love)
            only come
  once in a lifetime
and once a treasure is gone
   it cannot be replaced
      (like you).
