Be on constant guard

Protecting that which is your most valued treasure

In this world that feels cold, dark, and hard

Fail not to be vigilent and untilize every measure

---

Take not of this world more than one can handle

Do not let it overwhelm

Let not it speed the burn of your candle

Be what you know is right before leaving this realm

---

A kingdom of treasure does not over value this asset

For there is no gold, glory, or adventure worth more

Let not your greatest thing be tarnised with regret

And get not in a hurry to rush for that magic door

---

Share the truth with all ye may find

That there is something more beautiful on the inside

For it's priceless when ever you see an example of being kind

That's a treasure you can wear with unyielding pride

---

Not all embrace such a rosey look upon this life we lead

Some sully the legacy of their being

Smell sweet roses, feel the warmth, and take the time to read

Discover a world of wonder that is truly worth seeing

---

When gone you be

A successful life be measured through your deeds

Be enlightened and see

Of types like you, this world has many needs

---

For it is those who know the truth

The greatest treasure is the best you
