Collections

 

Shall I walk along the beach
and collect the grains of sand;
Or amass the many treasures
put on this earth for man?

Should I accumulate selected works
of writers great and grand;
Or hoard all contributions
bestowed upon this land?

Will I set aside wealth and fame
for my golden years to come;
Or bring together little things
that mean so much to some?

I cannot fill my storehouse
with gleanings from the past;
Or cling to all the mundane things
that may, or may not, last.

The collections in my life
are treaures from above -
Faith, hope, miracles
And God's most perfect love.

About the Poet
I still have 4 grandsons and love to write. Although it hasn't been easy (nothing worth while ever is), on June 1 Floyd and I will celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary.
