Ownership

Was always told that I needed to own a little land Now I have the precious deed in a death grip in my hand Next I'll need to mark the plot with an engraved stone And not too long in the future this will be home No one will be able to take this away...ground and sod But my inner spirit being will be home with my God (Thomas Wyatt style of 14,14,..12,12...14,14)

Now that Sara has bought herself a piece of sod, We'll have a place to park her bod, So that all the loved ones she'll leave behind, Will have a place to go and find, A reminder of the soul called Sara by name Who wrote clever poetry ...and inspired some of the same. Oh dear, this just came thru, laughing all the way...what does it mean when we start having spontaneous emissions of poems like this? Is it a disorder or something? Is there a cure? Maybe I'll post it for input.

wow, sara, this is very interesting the way you discuss two types of ownership, the spiritual and physical and right to the point. Good one! Andrea

nicely penned, sad though, don't remind me!! It is just a stepping stone to eternity!! Check out my poem Hearth and flame memoir. Help me with grammar and spelling if you would.

This sounds quite sad to me, Sara! But even here in Germany this small piece of land will not be home for long if no payment follows. Thank you for your always kind comments...Gert
