Bones is a tortured soul,
eaten alive by vile memories.

It’s hard being Bones,
very hard.

Remember that, and be kind.
Slip him a fiver now and then.

While I have sympathy for Bones I am not really sure whether giving him hand outs would be helpful. Wouldn`t it be better to provide him with a meal or teach him how to make a livelihood?

If you remember Longfellows poem "The Psalm of Life." He says "Lit the dead past bury it's dead, act in the living present, heart within and God or' head. There is a lot of wisdom in the old poets.

Love 'u stuff Billie C.

Thanks dear Billie C,

I love the old poets, and read them quite often. They are a constant source of inspiration.

I also like the modern poets.

Love Bobby
