Hi Roy, Perfect rhyming and your poem gives the reader cause to pause and contemplate wnat lies beneath and if one searches they will find the gold in their lives through their own being. A lovely well written poem Roy. Cheers Christine

Now that's my kind of poem! The same rhyme scheme I usually use. (So I am partial here). I especially like the line, "Gold dwells and lurks beneath the ground, though some great nuggets can be found above the soil (though these be rare) it's mostly found in myst'ry's lair..." Your rhyme is tight and perfect...don't know how else to describe it. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Roy,

Again you have written a poem that I really enjoyed reading. You are so great at writing them. I really like that you always put up something from the Bible too.
You are a wonderful man and a great writer.

Kat

This poem let's us know that we should store our riches where rust and thieves cannot get to them. That isn't found here. Nice reminder.

Great reminder that we are precious to God. Praise Him for valuing us so much that He sent His Son. I've often wondered why this soft metal was universally prized as archeological digs always find peoples around the world treasured gold. The Ecc. verse is one of my favorites. Thanks for this beautiful message.

It would be nice if the hidden gold were exposed in each of us. Good meter throughout these couplets. I came away with a bit of wisdom and a hope that everyone would like to know that they are like nuggets of gold.
For some, that gold is well-hidden - even to the eyes of God.
Rose.

The gold in life is not the riches and material stuff, it is our joys, friends, good times and other gifts from God. Your words remind the reader that we fall into the trap of seeking gold. I like the line "And yet God sees the gold in man". Reminds me of loving God is.

A very well-written poem. The words flow well line to line combining easily to form the message of the poem for the reader. There are two forms of gold. One is spiritual the other is physical. I think you have done well describing both.

This is a very nice poetic dream. If men were angels we would not need laws. Realistically, I have yet to see Jim Carrey give up his riches, fame, giant house, Limos, etc. Like I said this is a nice sentiment.

A very well written piece! People have to start looking beyond our outer covering. Our skin is just that, what is inside our minds and heart is what really counts. You have beautifully said what needs to be shouted from the tallest mountain tops all around the world.
Well done!
