Counting diamonds---silver...and, gold!

 
1---2---3---4---5...???
 
 
Lord! I can very quickly count my gold & silver.
It starts with a big-fat "0" and ends the very-same.
 
Now---I confess...the "cold"-metals hold no-value for me.
Had a buck, or two, or three once or twice---maybe...Hmm!
Seems any time I get(s) a quarter, I owe somebody a dollar!
 
Value of "counting" is only in the pure-Virtue of the object.
 
Now, I'll spend myriad-hours counting blue-white "diamonds"!
Those "sparklers" on a black-velvet canvas hold my attention.
 
NO! They are not "rocks" for faux jewelry-adornments! Naw!
 
These "valuable"-twinkles are "free" and hold true-"value".
 
You, too---can "hold" these diamonds...each mid-night showing.
 
Count the "stars" blue-white in the night-sky---Ah!...Virtue!
 
When all is "done" and "is" and "come"---I'll value...Life! & Love!

That "gold" and "silver"-stuff is---heavy...and, voluminous!
And---I just don't have any place to store...such faux-opulence.
(Junk hurts my eyes---'cept...those cosmos blue-white sparklers!)

Whatever happens---and something will...I'll choose to be...Happy!
 
Amen!
