Analysis of Better Than Gold
There are so many treasures here
On Earth for all to find,
But not the kind of treasures that
Are of the wealthy kind.
"All that glitters is not gold." *
At least that is what I've been told.
The Bible says we cannot keep
Our riches when we die,
But Heaven has rewards that we
Can have where angels fly!
