Treasure

Seek Wisdom like nuggets to treasure;

Embrace her with every pleasure;

For she will give good measure;

Under all forms of pressure.

Secret

If I should tell you my secret;

Would you chirp it like a cricket?

Dragging down my spirit;

Just for a meal ticket.

Home

To my heart, home is where you are;

Your warm embrace and distinct fragrance;

Pulls me in and gives me anchor;

From place to place;

Through seasons of time;

and the parade of many faces.
