Red stamps for anger For every time you get mad The color of rage Blue stamps for sadness For the times of bitter tears The color of hurt Yellow stamps for glad For the happy times in life The color of joy Brown stamps for pity For each time you get dumped on The color of "poor me" Green stamps for envy For the greedy,selfish heart The color of "I want" Collected in books Cash them in when they are filled Part of life's bargain's Inspired by a self help book titled "Collecting stamps". paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (08-20-2002 02:33 PM).] |

Very insightful, well done! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

This reminds me of that old song "Blue, blue my world is blue"... it was always a favorite. *S* I like this very much, paladin... {{{HUG}}} No need to worry about payment... I needed the reminder to cull some of those brown stamps from my collection. *G* |
