Treasure Hunter

I am a treasure hunter,

For I learn to find,

The tiny little things

That people leave behind.

I can find that speck of light,

In the midst of a thousand shadows.

I can find that shimmer of hope,

In the middle of a losing battle.

I will find that shining smile,

When the world is a sea of frowns,

Just as I will find that little child,

In the remains of a house that burns down.

It pays to be a treasure hunter, 

For I can share,

Those little things

That keep the world going round.

And I can have

Those little things,

To keep us from crashing down.

A very sweet write.
Hard to believe there is good out there but I find it is basic loneliness that drives others to sad ideals. For me, this write reminds me of the importance of reaching out to others, no matter who. Value the stranger, especially the old. There is good in most if only they felt appreciated. Lack of love drives people to do insane things.
Brilliant job and thanks greatly for putting this inspirational write out there. Such a kind heart you have. PS, the last line took a bit away from the write, lets not look inward too much..outward and onward is best.

These things are truly treasures, more precious than any gold or gems. Your talent always makes me smile :) :) Fantastic!
