I AM A NAIL

 I AM A NAIL

I AM A NAIL IN
BOX ON THE 
SHELF YOU 
COME ALONG 
AND BUY ME
YOU BUILDED
HOUSE YOU 
HAMMER ME 
IN THE FLOOR BY
THE DOOR  WHERE
I SIT FOR 100 YEARS 
EVERY TIME THE DOOR
OPENS PEOPLE WALK
ON ME AND IT RAINS AND
THE SNOW GET ME WET 
A 100 YEARS  GOES BY AND HEAR 
THEY MAY REMODEL 
THIS OLD HOUSE SO TAKE ME 
UP AND PUT ME  IN PILE IN THE
CORNER WHERE ALL THE OTHER
BENT NAILS ARE NOW I AM JUST
NOTHER OLD BENT NAIL ON
MY WAY TO NAIL HEAVEN 
I WAS NAIL IN THE FLOOR
BY THE DOOR

Greg another imaginative and original write and beautifully presented through out.
One of those poems you just don't want to end to read on and keep reading.
A joy from its beginning to its heavenly nail end. 
Full honours and gladfully given.
I wish you well and enjoy life and all the good it has to happily offer.
