Share It With No One Else... Poem by RIC BASTASA

THE Pictures of family
some have so many grandchildren
already
and perhaps they think that
happiness is as strong as those
steel grills
surrounding the house

or they may have thought about
the roots of trees and their branches
that almost touch the skies

posterity posterity is security
familytrees that survive centuries
names that go for all those years
fear transcended, happiness abound

upon your own unique reality you
shun all these
there is more to happiness than
family trees

and you only keep it to yourself
and share it with no one else.
