Freedom Of The Mind

      Freedom Of The Mind

One thing life cannot rob from me;
Are my thoughts, for they are free.
When old memories come to mind,
Whether sweet or some unkind.

Life cannot steal them away,
For in my mind, they dwell and stay;
And when a sweet thought comes to rest,
I can clutch it to my breast.

When the pain comes shining through;
I can discard the ones...of you.
I can think of whom I please,
Or even tell which thoughts to cease.

For they are mine and in me dwell;
They are free and not for sale.
Life might take...all that I possess;
But not my mind, which is worth less...

Than all possessions, that one sees,
For they are not... a part of me.
What I am, is held... deep inside,
In thought and memory, I abide.

Life might rob me, of all I own;
But my thoughts...are mine alone.

Valentine,
How true are your words. Our memories are some of the richest treasures we possess. Sitting under a tree feeling a cool breeze alone with our thoughts and memories is priceless. Thank you for reminding us of this hidden treasure.
Blessings,

Without all of these thoughts coming to mind we wouldn't be able to jot down thoughts for our writes. Kathie

An amazing write!
Loved these lines and could relate well..
"Than all possessions, that one sees,
For they are not... a part of me.
What I am, is held... deep inside,
In thought and memory, I abide.

Life might rob me, of all I own;
But my thoughts...are mine alone."
Thank you for sharing:)

You are right my dear friend.
"Life might rob me, of all I own;
But my thoughts...are mine alone."
The above lines are true. Can strip us bare and steal our life. Thoughts are never forgotten. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
