Emotional Checkbook We all have an emotional checkbook, And a balance that we keep. We reconcile the book each month, By counting the tears we weep. We write out emotional payments, To our family, job and friends. And hope we have some left over, When our emotional month ends. We try to juggle our checkbook, To be sure all receive pay. But it can get emotionally draining, When the bills come due every day. We try to make our deposits, From the love and care we receive. But we often find ourselves shortchanged, By those who craft to deceive. So we struggle to stretch our emotions, Though meager at times they may be. And see that all receive payment, So we don’t have to pay any fee. But sometimes we exceed our deposits, When unexpected emotions come due, And find before the next pay day, There’s nothing left for you. We no longer have any balance, We’ve nothing left to give. Our emotional checkbook is empty, We question our reasons to live. Manage your emotions wisely, Though you may often find it hard. Or you will find you’re emotionally bankrupt, With no emotional Master Card. Marv Hardin 07/03/00 |

Oh yes, bankrupt it is! I loved this one, as always. Very true on all respects. "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |

What an original comparison. I have to print this one out. Brilliant! Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

God this one hit's home with me rock, I had thought about bank rupt this year, but it would have destroyed my kids. so I'm ?? in a hole with no light. Great job my friend. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Now I understand why I'm always overdrawn! Excellent my friend. Life be not God's greatest gift. Of what worth be life without the capability to love? |
