Time
The most cherished, yet the most feared, like nothing in between.For it commands respect that surpasses kings and queens.Unlike anything on this earth, it is an intangible,Yet, in all its mystique, some would say, it’s manageable.

Laughter
How do I define a treasure like you?I say you are the cure for the many and few.For when you rise and show your beautiful head,All woes cease to exist—even the dead.

Mother Nature’s Symphony
Imagine yourself in the countryside, with no cars,Just the quiet of Mother Nature and the stars.Stars so plentiful, so close, yet so far.They appear as if fireflies you can captureAnd place in a jar.
