Thought it was about time.........?

Question

I thought it was about time that i gave you another poem. When at last my time has come
And theres nothing more to do,
When I finally close my eyes,
I know i'll be with you.
I have waited oh so long,
Seems like forever and a day,
I know that you'll come for me
And guide me on my way.
I know i'll be in no pain,
Tears i'll shed no more,
That you will take me by the arm,
And lead me to the door.
I have waited patiently,

Seems like it's been forever,
But I know i'll see you once again,
My darling daughter Emma.

Writing a poem is an art so this would be in the right place as far as I am concerned..I am a Gospel songwriter and You did a wondeful job with the rhythm and layout of your poem... .. a wonderful tribute to your daughter.

And BTW...it is yours from the moment you create it...read below...

When is my work protected?
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.

Do I have to register with your office to be protected?
No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration.”

Why should I register my work if copyright protection is automatic?
Registration is recommended for a number of reasons. Many choose to register their works because they wish to have the facts of their copyright on the public record and have a certificate of registration. Registered works may be eligible for statutory damages and attorney's fees in successful litigation. Finally, if registration occurs within 5 years of publication, it is considered prima facie evidence in a court of law. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration” and Circular 38b, Highlights of Copyright Amendments Contained in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), on non-U.S. works.

I’ve heard about a “poor man’s copyright.” What is it?
The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself is sometimes called a “poor man’s copyright.” There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration.

Answer 2

And what does this have to do with hobbies and crafts. I hope you are copyrighting your work before posting because anyone can claim this as their poem just by copyrighting it.
Type it out and send it to yourself certified mail... this will copyright it by poorman's copyright. Leave it sealed until you can get it officially copyrighted. That way no one can take it.
Great poem by the way.

Answer 3

What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
--Something out of it, I think.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
