My Treasures


Each day I count my treasures,
the things that I hold dear.
Some are just those silly things,
that I like having near.

My old stuff and my teddy bears,
the things upon my walls.
The things my grand kids gave me
I truly love them all.

But these are just “things” in my life,
And if they were all gone,
It wouldn’t be so terrible,
To, without them, carry on.

The things that are most meaningful,
My blessings from above
Are those that God has given me
to care about and love.

My daughters and my grandkids,
Bring meaning to my world.
My dogs are here and love me,
They are mommies “little girls”

I have a few great friends in life,
I’m fortunate, I know,
They’re here for me, through thick and thin
and when I’m feeling low.

I may never win a Nobel prize,
Or find a cancer cure.
But though you may not see them,
of one thing I am sure.

I have done things that are wonderful,
Though they’ve not been publicized,
I lived, and laughed and loved a lot,
So no tears, please when I die.

When I leave this world,
And all I know, to be with God above?
I have left a lovely legacy,
A legacy of love.

TRACTORS

that was lovely...well done

What am I gonna do with a tractor?

my question too...I saw nothing about tractors there and nothing even remotely reminded me of a tractor

here's to the small things that define the most important aspects of our lives.
