Hidden Treasure Poem by Chris Embrick

People almost always
want what they need most
But many times they don't need
what they want most
Not understanding
the most precious things in life
cannot be bought
always looking for hidden treasure
so they can live a carefree life
hardly ever finding
what's right under their nose
that love and happiness
are things sought
and must be nourished each day
and even when in short supply
must be given away
the treasure is not cryptic
the directions point
straight to the heart.
