You now have your space and I now have mine. How great the sun in my world now shines. You no longer tell me which way to run, My heart no longer weighs a ton. Your materialistic ways and all the silly games you play; no longer will I fight for breath and stay. You say you know God but idolize evil, Pretending to agree and nod. Benjeman Franklin was his title, but Ben's only purpose is to bridle. Power and status was you love so true while I stood by waiting for you. The four of us patiently waiting our turn but time ran out and you had money to burn. There are three still left Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, they'll put you to the test. I don't believe money is evil just the way this person abused it. Julie ------------------------- [i]Your most prized possessions will be what you hold in your heart not in your hand. |

I love your style, it is very beautiful and gives a great amount of life to all your words. I dont understand the circumstances that surround this sad story, but i hope everything turned out okay. It is sad that such dire circumstances create such beautiful poetry. Wonderful. |

Beautifully written poem. Much truth in it. My luck would haveit that I have been with a few females that are this way. Not all are but I can attest to the fact that there are at least a few. Again, I like this poem. SD If dying is the process of living life to its end. Then what is living? |

excellent poem...perfect rhyme pattern... and well spoken message, take care, janet marie Now for me some words come easy... But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch. You never knew what I loved in you-- I don't know what you loved in me... Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... How long have I been sleeping- How long have I been drifting alone through the night... How long have I've dreaming I could make it right... If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might To be the one you need... Jackson Browne |

You're right, Julie. Money is not evil but the love of money is the root of all evil. Excellent message in this Julie! I'm so glad to see you writing and posting again! Hugs, my friend!  Denise |
