Possessions Speak

Possessions speak to us all day long.That book you purchasedBut have never readSays“Read me!”And the empty shelf Says “fill me up with more.”Some possessions warm and nurtureWhile others distract, dissuade, and even harm.If we are not careful, the things we ownCan siphon off our strength.Or they can build us up,Make us better.So choose carefully what you ownAnd don’t be afraid of letting goOf a thing When it no longer serves The purpose for which it was purchased.
