PRECIOUS

I searched and she was found
Then a relationship was bound
I esteem her more than scepters and thrones
And compare her to none of those
I now see riches as nothing because
with her I know I’ve got something

I reckon no priceless stone as her peer
For compared with her, gold seems so old
and beside her, diamonds are just stones
I adore her more than wealth and beauty
and prefer her voice to the sound of the 60’s

I love her more than daylight
and even a peaceful night because
Her radiance never sleeps; even at night
On her shoulder she gets a kiss from me
Because in her company all good things come to me
On my shoulder she rests whenever she’s stressed
because I’m a 'soulja' ever willing to hold her
