My Treasure Chest
by: Tomi

There are so many treasures
In a lifetime to be sought.
A chest filled with true friendship
Is the rarest of the lot.

Diamonds, oh how they glitter,
And gold coins can buy a gown,
But they can’t make me giggle,
cheer me up when I am down.

When a prince becomes a frog
leaving nothing but a wart,
You are there to remind me,
“Lady, all guys do is fart.”

Angry at those who hurt me,
and gentle with those who care,
Loyal and understanding,
You’re a jewel beyond compare.

I count myself most lucky,
You have filled my treasure chest.
Have a wonderful Birthday,
Girlfriend - you’re the very best!
