Silver and Gold - Metal Detecting, Gifts and Poetry of Precious Metals

Beauteous metals from the depths of the Earth
Golden rings for Marriage, silver spoons at Birth
Invest in these metals for security & pleasure
Let them be part of your nest egg treasure

When the economy is so uncertain
You can't trust the man behind the curtain
Precious metals can be your hedge
To buffet your fall from this precipitous ledge
Whether platinum or silver or gold
Put extra cash into these investments of old
It should hold its value and be fairly secure
While it may be a tonic; it won't be a cure

Silver and gold from deep in the earth
You can touch, feel and know their worth

Mined for millennia, for coins and art
A favorite of jewelers from the start

Beautiful and forever lasting metals
Go drop some in the holiday kettles

I have a golden wedding band
My husband has one too
That's about all the gold on hand
We need some more; we're overdue

American Eagles would be neat
Some Krugerrands for show
Vienna Philharmonics to be complete
And golden nuggets sure would go

Dress up in sterling silver jewels
No need to follow particular rules
They're not too costly for looking fine
When you're going out to dine
Or for every day with business attire
Every wardrobe does some silver require

Polish the silver would you dear
One hundred guests are coming here
They'll drink our wine and eat our grouse
And dance the waltz in our fine house

Polish the silver for tonight
I would that it gleam by candle light
The forks and knives and spoons need care
Get the divots in the markings there

Polish the silver platters please
The soup tureens; don't take your ease
I expect to see my own reflection
I'm counting on you for perfection

Look for the Silver Lining
Be it Cloudy or Shining
You'll have a Better Life
Where Hope is Rife
