MUSIC:  ' WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME'
THINGS THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT
Some things, I’ve thought,
That can’t be bought
Have value more than gold.


As old I’ve grown,
And time has flown,
Unnoticed truths unfold.


A friendly smile
Sent by a child
Will leave my heart delighted.


She could not know
I felt a glow
Which her smile had ignited.







Kind words of cheer
And praise I hear
That some might take for granted.


My heart makes room
For buds that bloom
From seeds of love there planted.


I have in mind
Such things in kind
Where price is not involved.


I could not try
These things to buy
From love they have evolved.
