Priceless Treasure

Adelene Gushue 1948 (St.Thomas)



“Priceless Treasure “

A fragrant rose does not compare,
To the love she does share,
So soft and gentle in her way,
But strong and more beautiful everyday.

“Priceless “ describes this treasure you see,
Mother is what she is to me,
Flowers and jewels take second place,
When gazing upon her face.
