Even if it's not gold, it will shine
Even if it's not gold, it will shine
In the light of the sun, so devine
For what gives something worth, truly
Is the essence it holds, so unruly

In the depths of a sea so vast
A pearl silently forms, unsurpassed
It may not be made of gold
But its luster cannot be controlled

The laughter of a child, so free
Is not something for sale, or fee
But its joy, beyond any measure
Fills hearts with warmth and pleasure

The kindness of a stranger, so rare
Is not something for riches to compare
But its value, beyond any trove
Can illuminate even the darkest alcove

So even if it's not gold, it will gleam
In the tapestry of life's lucid dream
For in every selfless act of grace
A treasure presents, in every place

In every ray of morning light
In every star that shines so bright
There lies a splendor, so profound
In a world where beauty can be found

So let us not be captivated by gold
But embrace the radiance, untold
For even if it's not gold, it will gleam
In the love and kindness, like a sunbeam.
