David Smith Poet Grook

Maybe

Was I born with an ego,
That helped me grow,
Or did I borrow another's ego, 
Until Mine could grow.

What will happen when I go,
Will it continue to grow,,
If buried with me when I go,
Or should I ask at the library tomorrow,
If they will take my ego,
For others to borrow,
After I go,
So they too can grow.

Darlene De Beaulieu June 30, 2026 at 11:53 AM Hello David Smith Maybe it is best to take your ego with you when you pass. I do not think that another person would want their ego when they have their own. Your friend, Darlene Cheers!! Darlene De Beaulieu July 1, 2026 at 4:01 AM Hello David , I live in Canada. Where do you live? I try hard to be positive every day. I am not sure of the time zone. Your friend. /Darlene/ Cheers! David Smith June 30, 2026 at 9:52 PM Maybe some are better at hiding theirs. Afraid someone might steal it perhaps. Glad yours is visible Darlene. The question is How big is it? Have a great evening or is it morning where you are? How many time zones are there? That's my three questions.
