Profound write, Sherry, and a reality check for us all. ~~Nordette

Now, that's putting things in perspective!

William .....Peace & Love

A great reality check. Nicely done.

a inspired being never can be robbed of its focus for life's gifts and possessions that remain with us forever ...

this poem is just fantastic!

You were left the best treasures anyone could want. Great thought within these lines

Great write Sherry! Material things can be replaced, I know, were burlarized once while on vacation. It is a sickening feeling,and made me sooooooo mad to think that what I work hard to get some others think is theirs for the taking. But what matters are the important things in our lives, and some of those cannot be taken away. : )

I always say, if the thief needed it that bad I guess their welcome to it.
I've been really lucky though.
Had some tools disappear one time, but that's all
love and luck.........

Beautiful philosophy. Good read. R

"Thief" took my attention and held my breath until I understood the magnetism of poetic compliance flowing through its lines to the closing grandiose!

This poem has delivered a pile of gold to the treasure of Poetry.

Thank You, Poet!

Sherry your preface note tells me what I need to know. This is a splendid supposition wrapped in wonderful poetry to show what is
)or should be) the most important things in life, and they are not material.Excellent inspirational poem!

Maybe he needed what he took, but left the rest because he knew you needed something too...But karmically, if this were non-fiction, he would get his payback too...this poem has a wisdom about it, glad I am that I read it...Peace, Ed & rufuz

There is great wisdom within this write :-) As long as we remember what is really imporant, we will be okay :-)

After he reads this, he'll be sure to remember to bring along a bigger bag for his haul! This is lovely Sherry...why does that not surprise me? :-) Blessings, Michelle

I love how this concludes... finding true value.

This Rocks! Wonderfully penned and greatly enjoyed.

Sherry, the poetry is fabulous, and yet, I wonder if in fact you have been the unfortunate victim of a burglary? I sure hope not. If so, I am sorry to hear it. Take good care and cut the S.O.B.’s hands off if they find him. Be well.

I'm glad they left your computer! lol
Sherry, I've been the victim in several of these what the police call random attacks, but they never can manage to steal what is most valuable to all..their soul, their memories, their heart, and inspiration it takes to move on and above life itself.
They can only take monetary items that will get them the next crack rock or heroin fix, and another step down the pathway to an addict's hell. They'll never be able to take who we are or what we are, even if they take our lives, they still don't win, for we are writers and we live on through our words, our thoughts and prayers.
and I'm just glad you are safe.
Take care,
Lisa
