She can be rich with nothing
sells flower garlands to shops
keeps a sad smile, her only
kind of humor, survival
she touts as badge of honor
contentment becomes her wealth
On clear nights, she lies on grass
canopy of spangled stars
shelters and lights up her world
through a lattice of budding
trees - nature girths up for spring
in the dark she cuddles faith

her wounds of unfair fate will
heal in a new life of bliss.

Wonderful thoughts transferred into words, jjote, my favorite line . . .

"contentment becomes her wealth"

Beautiful thoughts and prose. There are many today and I am sure there always has been those who managed to put on that "happy face" to be able to except the cold world and smile through. Jo
