Treasures

We often think of treasure as 

Gold and diamonds

Priceless and indestructible 

But there are some treasures 

That are fragile

They can be priceless 

For years, decades, and centuries 

But take your eye off of them

Distracted by lesser things

And they can turn to ash

In an instant

Those who went before 

Look on and weep for the treasures

They worked, fought, and died

To give you 

As they blow away

In the gentle breeze
