               PRECIOUS
          By ... Steve Lucky

Life is precious.
I have precious little time to spare
So every precious moment should be used wisely.
Precious friends help me to discover
Many of the precious things right under my nose.
Air is precious.
Without it I could not breath.
Food, water, and shelter are precious.
They allow me to spend my precious life
In precious comfort and maintain my precious health.
Freedom is precious
Especially to those who have lost it
For one reason or another.
Precious are the words
I write on precious paper with precious ink.
With my precious computer, I can send a precious message
To the many precious people on this precious planet.
All these things are finite and will perish.
Precious priorities need to be set
When making precious decisions about what is precious.
Love, hope, faith, strength, courage, friendship, and imagination
Are just some of the precious things
Not to be measured by the standards
That make the word precious lose its meaning.
Its meaning is precious.
