Can Anyone Steal Your Soul Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Dear Fellow Sincere Poets:

Today I found 6 poems online with someone else's name attached. (Not anyone in this community) . These poems have been previously copyrighted and documented by me in several ways. This is just to let you know that if you see these poems online with anyone else's name attached, that person is perpetuating a fraud.

Here are the names of the poems:

The Doves of My Mind
May This Reach You Where
Blossoming Sea And
Since You Fail
Exile, I am
The Waves That Almost

I am in the process of keying in these poems today.
Can anyone steal your soul? Of course not. But here on earth we do have the right to claim title to the things that come from our own hearts and minds which is why, Michelangelo, for one, got up in the middle of the night long ago in Italy to carve his name on his own sculptures the day after he heard a conversation attributing them to someone else.

Who can steal the flowers of your soul? When the soul returns to God from whom it came, those flowers will be there. Before that time comes, the words sincerely crafted and sincerely felt know to whom they belong.

All I can say to you dear poets if this happens to you, claim them back and be careful who you trust.

God Bless You. I pray you all write everything you have to write in this life and the next.

Most Sincerely Yours,
