THE PRICELESS THINGS

Life holds so many priceless things
The falling rain--the wind that sings
Each star on high--a big full moon
And sunbeams dancing in your room
The river as it rushes on
A sunset when the day is gone

No wealth can buy a mountain tall
These priceless things belong to all
An autumn tree lends beauty rare
With leaves piled deep most everywhere
As nature wears a glowing smile
To make each day a day worthwhile

Could anything be quite as dear
As laughing children that we hear
The gift of friendship that is ours
The miracle of growing flowers
Each magic moment-treasured time
These priceless gifts are yours and mine
