THOUGHTS!

MY FATHER IS A RICH MAN
He has given me priceless jewels: A brilliant sapphire ring,
A tiny silver locket, I wear with everything,
A crown that holds, in elegance, a Costly stone of old,
And a rare and precious treature
From a case of purest gold.
The jewels are years of happiness, Knowledge, is the ring,
Humility, the locket, I wear with everything.
Pride, the crown of elegance, Faith, the stone of old,
His love, the precious treasure,
His heart, the case of gold.
