From straw they told me building is something to achieve

From their visions of life condense for them easy to see

They spoke of images
I failed to understand

I understood an old man
working for nothing
to feed a (UK) gas meter (money in - methane out)
and to have the courtesy
To invite you for toast

To listen to a rich voice
Of experience
And feel sad
And yet
It hurts me say

That he had decided
That a warm room
Toast on an open fire
And his joy from life

Was enough

Ah, and here you have found the secret, Dave. It truly is the simple things in life that make life most worthwhile. I hold dear even more each day the things I can find to do without...but one of the things I will not find I can do without anytime soon...is the money to pay the phone bill and electric company to keep me connected to my poets.

Nah...that isn't even in the game plan.

Connected, I hope to stay.

(big angel hugs) Oh Dave, yes indeed, the simple blessings are what make us happy in life and I'd rather be at home feeling happy with my loved ones then at a cubicle in the most prosperous business! God Bless You,w e all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dave, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
