His inheritance came from the land Of windmills, tulips, delft, and wooden shoes. A lifetime of memories collected By his grandfathers and theirs. As the product of careless decisions �Get Rich� schemes, lottery tickets and gambling trips Came to fruition in the pile of bills on the floor The treasures from afar, meant to be with family forever Will now be scattered into the greedy hands Of the highest bidders across the globe

We've heard the old clich�, "if you don't take a chance, you don't win". By the same token, if you don't take a chance, you don't lose. Your poem is a wonderful message to those who think the way to success is a get-rich scheme.

A sad situation but a fine message of warning to those who would be careless. Nicely done, Karen. Love and peace to you,

A good message within your words and thoughts...greed and or illusions sometimes do take over the sanity of decision and as always lead to loss...

nice work.....Art Sun...

Oh NO! This happens all the time and yet,
this hits me right here at home, Karen, amidst all my family heirlooms from Holland! How sad! Hoping this isn't true!
Love and Peace~

Sad somtimes what the mind will allow the heart to do. Greed and desire can take the best of us and leave us with just the shell of a promise of what we could have been
