Buried Treasure

I searched for buried treasure
Where none had searched before
Some said there was merely sand
But I knew there was more

They said I was dreaming
For how could I ever find
Anything of worth and value
In something left behind

But I could see it shining
Beneath the hardened shell
A treasure of tender fortune
Worth more than words can tell

Many laughed as I dug deeper
To find the hidden core
But they no longer scoffed
When I found wealth and so much more

For when my eyes beheld the splendor
I knew that it was true
I found more riches than words can express
When I found the love in you
