There are some who do live in a rich paradise

Who yearn for nothing more than love's surprise

And once they find this extraordinary pot of gold

They will settle down to savor it as they fill souls



For NOTHING on earth is finer than this filled need

Which will have the effect of ceasing the heartbleed

And to those who have found it - I offer my respect

For you have prospered in the face of others' neglect



And with this - you have found complete inner beauty

With which you are filled to the brim and thus no duty

Forms deeply in you - to accost other innocent souls   

Who are still in search of this before they become old ...
