Life's Greatest Possession Poem by April Swan

Life's Greatest Possession

Rating: 5.0


Those clothes express
Perfumes will bathe
Her diamonds twinkle
That money buys
These things adorn
But never to love
For life's greatest
Possession
Is thyself

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

How true, material things give momentary happiness but in the end what really counts is what you are as an individual, So beautifully said with so few well chosen words. Me like very much.
