Anyway, when I found this instead of what I was looking for, I thought I would share it.
Advice to a Girl
No one worth possessing
can be quite possessed;
Lay that on your heart,
my young angry dear;
This truth, this hard and precise
stone,
Lay it on your hot cheek,
Let it hide your tear.
Hold it like a crystal
when you are alone
And gaze in the depths of the icy
stone.
Long, look long and you will be
blessed:
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed.
Sara Teasdale
Always loved this little gem from my Grammy. My poem she gave me is typed on an old fashioned typewriter.
Poems are always straight from the heart. I find them hard to write sometimes and other times they can be very easy. I believe your heart has to be in it.
