A Heart of Gold - A Lucky Poem by Salty Vixen
When I was I child I use to dream of being wealthy.
As I grew older I found out that wealth is relative to each person.
Money, family, love, material possessions, all of these
are many ways for us to feel wealthy.
Throughout my life I have always felt that my view of wealth
was my family, love, and nature.
But I must admit that I have also always had this feeling that
there has been more out there waiting for me.
I especially think about it around this holiday when I see images
of rainbows leading to pots of gold.
I cannot begin to count the number of times that I have thought
that maybe I will find my fortune laying on the side of the road, or that I would hit the Lottery, or win some
type of sweepstakes.
Today I stopped to ponder this fantasy of mine, and I came to the
conclusion that it is a reality.
My ultimate fortune has been out there waiting for me.
Today I closed my eyes and envisioned a rainbow,
I followed that rainbow and sure enough it lead me to my pot of gold.
But when I reached the pot of gold something very strange happened,
When I reached in the pot to retrieve some of the gold.
It all disappeared and turned into water. I thought to myself,
"You fool, what a silly dream!"
And then I looked into the pot and saw my reflection
but it wasn't my reflection It was yours.
It was then that I realized I had truly found the ultimate wealth that
I had been searching for all my life.
