You own naught in life
You are just the gatekeeper
And holder of it

hmmm, quite pondersome

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Indians have known
Caretakers are all we are
and yet, we despoil

(smiles) Oh Linda, I just love how you've said this, sweet friend, we may leave with nothing but our souls just as we came in but yet we "become" all we hope to be if we live life to the fullest! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we al love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Wise words and quite true.  We're nothing more than caretakers, only to one day be replaced by others.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

I've been trying all day to come up with a suitable response and there are no words I can say that are worthy enough for what you have written.

Really, really inspired writing.

Everything on this earth is on loan to us by God....What we do with these "gifts" determines on what wealth we'll have, if any, when we enter a better place....Wealth should be measured by the prayers we've had answered, the love we've had from friends and family, not by the material things that one's accumulated.....

            and no ownership in that respect.

Marti ~

That was an extremely touching reply. No more words were needed to convey your depth of understanding of this message nor to convey your appreciation of my efforts.

Thank you dear sister poet friend!
