Earning To Own What Is Priceless



I can only claim what is mine to have earned,
To be owned.
Not borrowed, leased...
Or loaned to promise,
Payments to keep up on a monthly basis.

And if not,
What I claim to possess and it to me owned...
Is repossessed to depreciate in value.

Yet what I have earned to own,
Increases my appreciation more with time.
Knowing 'that' to value remains priceless.
And mine not taken to give to someone else.
Like many reminding others what they did!
