The treasures I’ve gathered along life’s way
Were neither gold or silver
I could not place a price on them
They are too precious to be sold

It was that smile and little sigh
The handshakes that were given
Gave me more than money could buy
And they made my life worth living

So when one counts his treasures
I’m richer from the start
Because I have these precious gifts
Stored deep within my heart
