Ecclesiastes 1:18 

18 For in much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

Every day has its own riches

just for the taking all around.

But how to recognize this treasure

is this what wisdom is about?

 

A treasure does not always glitter

like gold and silver and the like.

It is mostly found in the common

pains and aches of man and child.

 

At first glance will bounce of the surface

of a heart filled with pain until seen

that it’s made for a simple purpose

as now you focus on the deep.

 

The deeper search into man’s existence,

the more precious jewels you’ll find

and as you bring to light out of darkness

that what very few will ever find.

 

It takes lots of work and courage

commitment, aggravation and pains

to find yourself in one another

through love seldom known to man.
