Fool's Gold

Only with hope unearthed by will can true treasure come to be
     And but through impassioned eyes could such fascination see
     A caressing glimmer of desire caught by one heart lends it truth
     Found in its natural state it would beguile the purest blood of youth

     Prospects of wealth that brings true joy is not wasted in the mind
     Only stones unturned will ever know the dreams one left behind
     In the softness of these hardened hands faith's pleasure pleads to hold
     Such grains that gleam unknown by most except in this Fool's Gold.
