Investing in Us By Larry Chadwick Lame but fun! I want to invest in the commodity of us, And time seems to be the best currency. But I can’t afford the exchange rate of life, Trading in my obligations of dependency. Wealth cannot acquire the time I need, That would free me to be always with you. Yet I’d like to stake my future on us, It’s a stock that would pay me good dividends too. In a time when the market has crashed, And everyone is crying the blues; I alone possess the courage, To tell the bear he’ll pay his dues. I’ll ignore all the analysts, Who have no vested interest in us. And fly against conventional thought, No matter how big all the fuss. I’m selling all that I have, And pawning things that don’t sell. No matter the risk of investing in us, The returns will be great I can tell. One day the wealth of our love, Will be the envy of all; They’ll clamor for us to tell, But it will be ours alone to recall. November 29, 2002 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Wow, Larry, this is really intense. Love, friendship, and health are the most valuable assets in this world. You are blessed to be surrounded with friendship here at Passions, and we are all wealthier because of you. |

Hi Larry...  I'm glad to see you back here tonight. I enjoyed your poem, too. "Love makes the world go around" |

Sounds like a sound investment to me! This was witty and winsome--just like you! ~ May your 'investment' continue to grow and give you the dividends that you so richly deserve! Linda |
