These Things That I Prize

entry picture

Most people have a lot,

most have a list

of gidgets and gadgets

and trinkets to buy.

 

It’s just human nature

there’s no harm in this,

but lately

I’m wondering why.

 

For as I’ve grown older

I have realized

(I’ve had to,

for it is a matter of fact).

 

While caring for all of

these things that I prize,

everything I own…

owns me right back.
