Hi JMF, This is a really beautiful poem. The progression is very nice, I love the way the subject goes in and finds the box of letters and gets to read about the lives of her parents. I would love to be able to do that!

Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, what an incredibly touching story, and how beautifully you have told it in this wonderfully metered poem. Your friend must be extremely pleased. I know I would be, and it's aptly named too, for more than the reason stated -- a treasure!

Comment from Gloria ....
And what a heartfelt story it is. Your lyrical metre and fine rhymes bring the joy of the adopted child to light through a progression of imagery and physicality.
Great luck to you with the Contest Committee.

This is an amazing sonnet that brought tears to my eyes. What a blessing to find such a treasure during such a sad time. I hope that when the time comes, my boys find my writings and feel the same love. Thank you so much for putting this lovely story into such a beautiful poem and sharing it with us.

Comment from lyenochka
Such a beautiful story! And well told in your abcb rhyming quatrains. The best part is that the treasure found isn't monetary and can never be lost but be passed on forever since it's love.

Comment from zanya
It's an inspiring life story in a poem filled with both the joys and sorrows of living - but most especially of overcoming life's hurdles enabled by their 'steadfast love'
