Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it. Because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says you're nowhere near ready, but the other half says: make him yours forever.


Love is a treasure
that no one can buy.
It's valuable and pretty,
and all colorful inside.
It can sometimes be rare,
or easy to see.
You just have to look
for where ever it may be.
You sometimes find false love,
or confuse it with lust.
Sometimes love hurts us,
and causes us to feel crushed.
Love can make us feel happy,
and all amazing inside
even though it might sound
a bit sappy at times.
It's something we're born with,
no matter who you are.
You just have to choose
to show it to everyone
near and far.

I really enjoyed reading this. I think that you are a vary talented poet and should keep writting and I will keep reading. My favorite line where the first two where you say "Love is a treasure that no one can buy". Keep up the good work. :)

I liked this poem as well. It is a beautifully simple version of what love is. It tells all about love too because love is indeed simple.

I really like this poem it gave vived word and did not lack any thing. The only mistake he/she made was that the word may be should be one word not two. I also like were it commented "Love is a treasure that no one can buy" i really thought that was excellent writing, but other then that i thought the poem was great
