.a.hidden.treasure.
A hidden treasure beneath the sea
Is what every man wishes to find,
But each one wishes for a different kind.
Some wish for petty riches:
Sapphires, rubies, and gold;
Things that can be bought and sold.
Some wish for prestige.
They want everyone to admire them
And to be treated like the most precious gem.
These are all satisfactory wishes,
But the best gift of all
Is to have friends who will answer one's call.
Unlike riches and reputation,
Everyone likes
To have someone when tragedy strikes.
Containing all the wonders of the world,
Friendship is that hidden treasure beneath the sea
For which every man wants the key.
