Griselda and Bones
are too wrapped up
in the many joys,
and miseries
of human life
growing on the city’s streets
to notice much else.

They often think
they might be missing something,
but they aren’t sure of what—

and that’s the way it is.

surely Bobby, they miss a loyt of things, but isn't it the same for everybody, wherever we are, whatever we do ? Thanks for the thoughtful poem and its accuracy.

I agree with Yann's thoughts.

When we are active and live fully in our own surroundings it is already a good accomplishment of our mission. But no doubt, with the world entering our homes through the media, we feel like we "miss" a lot of things, that would be worthy of deeper knowing.

Insightful.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

Griselda and Bones are really satisfied with their life on the hood streets. They are however, inquisitive about what life is like outside of their world.

Love Bobby

There's an old saying, "You can't miss what you don't have."

Well, it certainly is natural to wonder about those things! lol

Isn't that how it goes. I think it's called "life" - but I am not sure. The good thing is that the joy is there too.

Love,

I bet people who have been everywhere and done everything wonder what it's like to live in the hood.

I think that if Griselda and Bones are happy with what they have, then whatever they are missing isn't very important. Happiness is the most important thing in life.

Thanks dear Shellie,

What you say is true. I used to work my way around the world at least once a year when I was consulting. It's all very similar.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, they probably do think about living in the hood. Of course they can't, we won't let them.

Bobby - growing up on the street they aren't missing much. But a nice vacation away would be of useful thoughts...

Yes health and happiness are the two most important things in life Bobby and a lot of

the things that Bones and Griselda think they might be missing out on are not worth knowing anyhow.
