My little Smiles and Laughter
Lucrative gems that sparkle
Happiness they scatter
Alter moods, of one and all.
Memories – good and bad
Jewels that forever shine
Childhood, youth, family, friends
Homes and precious faces gone
Creative moments spent
Writing fine words and rhymes
Listening to and singing
Favorite classy golden songs
‘Life’ – a necklace of pearls
Each life-breath counts
For as life seconds tick by
All valuables are gone
~~~
My response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: Pride and Joy
‘What’s your most prized possession?’

People around you must be already enriched by all those lucrative gems of yours, Alka. I wish I were in your neighbourhood. Do flash some on to warm winds passing by as it will purvey the same to your well wishers farther afield…best wishes.
