Priceless Pebble

It's customary for a male penguin, to present to the female of his choice, a pebble, as to show his interest in being her soulmate for life. Recently, my boyfriend did just that for me. He asked this:

Some seek out mere happiness. Others, in search of the material gold.
Some are so fortunately given, a wealth so grand, that it has to be felt but never righteously told.
Man pursues his day, perhaps at a desk, or even at sea but all the earned salary it's possible to make, would never mean as much to me.
This stone I grasp, it bears no true net worth but is more priceless to me, than any other jewel adorning this earth.
** Of all the precious gems and treasures known to any man, none hold even the slightest resembling value, of this pebble within my hand!

This is beautiful :) Somehow, I even think that the picture of such a stone being given between two lovers can be expanded into a story.......I see a scene in the movie, where he or she, after a lot of water flowed under the bridge of their relationship, holds that pebble, and memories of what brought them together stir the climax of a final reunion......excuse my liberal interpretation of your poem :)
