[Free Verse] Precious Things (with Music & Tanka)
Toys, books, or brand-name goods
And certainly not things like money
They must be the things that accumulate within the heart
That is why
Precious things have no form
And
Precious things
Are sometimes things we don't even realize we have obtained
Once they become a part of our body
There is no need to consciously hold onto them
Such precious things
I want to be a person who can truly feel them
Yes
Precious things
Always
Might be things without form
The people who are precious to me
And myself
I want to cherish them all
And
To my loved ones as well
And to myself
I want to properly convey
That I hold them dear
