Treasures In Mind Poem by Frederick Nellist

My treasure chest are thoughts untold
Memories cherished and here to stay
Lovingly tended never one thrown away
They are not diamonds or coins of gold.

Abundant, but none of the tangible kind
Devoid of tears or over read valentines
You wont find flasks of sun kissed wines
My treasures are firmly fixed in my mind.

Fond memories released only when I dream
Only they alone possess that right of way
Not one single treasure ever goes astray
Each one paints a picture sight unseen.

My priceless treasures have served me well
Resurrected memories not one tear stained
Thoughts good and bad all have remained
Will I be a treasure, only time will tell.
