These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Held Dear to the Heart

The things we hold so dear to the heart
are cherished e'er and e'er.
These treasures may have known a start,
fore'er they're blessed with care.

Sometimes they wane in Society's mind,
though they are held quite dear
to humans, who don't change or find
a new thought just as clear.

These strong-held truths are always true
for popularity
means little to the ones, who do
the right, and seek for Thee.
