“The World Is Mine!”


“The world is mine!”
A man yelled from the top of a mountain.
A little girl asked me if what he had said is true.
“Yes and no,” I replied to her softly,
“It’s for him, but it also belongs to me and you.
It’s all of ours, from the land way up to the stars!”
The little girl then asked me with a smile,
“Is it ours for a long while?”
I looked down and gave the innocent child a wink.
“It’s ours for a long while, I think.”
