Something Precious

something precious is difficult to find
by its very nature it hides from you
without regard to the needs and wants of you

ironically it wants the same from you
searching on paths different from yours
perhaps meeting but not recognizing

so walk you must
taking the path laid out before you
looking for that promise of something precious

it is not of money or gems
or gold and platinum
for this is priceless

for some the search can be long
while others find it short
but for me it has seemed never ending

but found i did
that one thing that makes complete
my own personal world

what else could bring such joy
and provide the anchor for my soul
but your friendship of course
