Where lies the buried treasure?
If only map pieces could be found
Lost marks here and there measure
What lies concealed beneath the ground
But there's danger on this path
Much lurks ahead darkly concealed
Waiting to pronounce great wrath
Where consuming greed is revealed
Where has this obsession led?
Can it ever be satisfied?
What are riches to the dead?
Moth and rust cannot be denied
But in another setting
There lies treasure bright and surreal
It is up skyward jetting
Where thieves do not break through nor steal
The promised treasure is untold
It beckons those pure to advance
Endless numbers will behold
From the Master- inheritance
Lay this treasure in your heart
And seek no more for earthly wealth
Learn from your past and now start
Gone the need to live in stealth
There will be forks and turnings
As you journey to the future
But with hard work and yearnings
You'll obtain that heart so pure
You must prepare for each day
This heart's made in word and in deed
And old longings you must stay
You must love and share without greed
To obtain your highest need...
Search this treasure map with known marks
Each step must be done, indeed
With stable footings, and gold hearts
-Thomas S. Monson
