Love Poem: Value

Value


We think of value as a set amount
   that's given to an item held or sold.
Most often- currency is paramount;
   in olden times- perhaps silver or gold.

But, there is value in a different kind-
   assessed and held by memories and heart,
which far surpasses any worth assigned;
   for us, become forever works of art.

A mom's embroidery, dad's old-time tools,
   or grandma's written recipes spelled out.
Intrinsic values follow no set rules;
   the love assigned is what they're all about.

These values- held and stored by heart and mind
   Far supersede the ordinary kind.
