If I could turn back the hands of time, I would not wish for what wasn't mine. I'd be thankful for whatever I had. As it's hard on the streets and very sad. I used to think my home was small, Until I had no home at all. I always wanted designer tags, But now I'm down to wearing rags. All dressed up I would prance down the street. Now I limp in shoes that hurt my feet. I spent on plastic what I could not afford. But the pretty things were my reward. Time caught up and I had to pay the price. Unable to do so I had to sacrifice. I watched my world around me crumble. Now the life I live has made me humble. |

I do so like how you write about the world and people around you, E. This is another goodie. K |

Thanks Nan. You're right about that. Sometimes I worry about how the young kids today just take things for granted. And then when they are out on their own it's a totally different story. Thanks Kamla. I enjoy watching people and writing whatever comes to mind. |

Eloise - A timely message for sure. My resolution on the first of this year was NO-CHARGE-FOR-MARGE And the very nerve of those companies ... they want you to PAY IT BACK ! I wish your message could reach all of those who get caught up in the ~bombastic plastic~ parade ! Good show ! *And then I had to laugh ... the banner at the top of this page while I was posting was for The VISA Future Card What ironicism !  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

it seems there is no middle sometimes, or at least people aren't happy with that when they have it good write |
