Cherish Treasures
/It is always after a loss
We start to cherish things more
For when things are easily held
They become mundane in our eyes
Those precious treasures gone forever
We regret not holding them tighter
And we can only honor them
In our memory
We cannot turn ashes into life
Cannot bring back the shine
From dulled eyes
The smile from frozen lips
The vanished treasure
Becomes priceless
And turns into
A poignant reminder
