The Song of a Treasure
Lindsay Mayeux 1992 (United States of America)
O' beautiful soul,
Who cares for the old,
Prepares for the young,
And sees to the weary,
Whose love is rarely told,
But it is surely shown
Noticed even less
And appreciated at best,
Beautiful soul,
You stand the test of time
Like an angel
Mounted up on wings
Beautiful soul,
Your heart sings,
The song of a treasure ,
Once known, but
Long since forgotten.
