Encrusted with jewels <br />And covered with gold <br />It may be priceless <br />But it can be sold <br /> <br />Plain as a handful <br />Of unsifted dirt <br />It may be worthless, <br />But losing it hurts <br /> <br />Maybe it's backwards <br />Maybe it's wrong <br />But a treasure untreasured <br />Won't last for long<br /><br />Bonnie Shipman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-and-riches/
