Life's Greatest Treasure Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

What do we have in this temporary life, nothing really,
only each other, reaching out to give and accept love
throughout the years.

Love given freely, being generated in the friendships
and families that we all have, being appreciated for
who we are and not what we have to give.

Trying to hold onto memories of the past, making new
ones for our children to cherish as they grow older,
just like we have done.

Quality time and caring are all that matter when love
is foremost in our lives, we carry on, knowing that this
is the greatest treasure that we hold within on earth.
