LIES BIGGEST JOY

For all the gold Of all the kings,
And all Of their ancestral line,
| would not give the little things
The simple joys that call mine.
Tho gems encrust each royal cup,
| still would drink from pewter, lest
I'd miss the eyes that, yelling up
Brim across at me and call me
blest!
For gems that stud the royal hands
would not give single tear
or Joy shed when baby hands
Confide in mine and laugh at fear.
The jingle in their royal palm
or all the gold they ever had,
Discordant is beside the psalm,
When children smile and call me
