Andrew Roza Poet I do not know?

Yours Is the Earth

Yours is the earth! And that is our expectation of you,
For you to express that promise in becoming that person,
Without holding back, expect the will! That speaks to you in not so many words.
That says to you "Can you become that person in this world or not?
And answer that one question all have come to ask since time began,
Is this world enough for you? Is this earth something you can make your own?
Then if you can answer that one question all have asked then yours is the earth,
And you are better for knowing it then you are for being nothing within it.

Sara Kendrick January 6, 2010 at 11:31 AM I like the second one that starts off with a positive statement that draws the person to question how can this earth be mine what is this poet going to say. Just my opinion not chiseled in stone. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Welcome to soup and looking forward to sharing thoughts. Sara
