Oh the embrace of life’s right hand
With a necklace of love and truthfulness
Writing them on our hearts where no love
Should take refuge or hide from the nest of others
For without wood, the fire disintegrates
Partnerships are for giving…
Were we lay like a newborn in the belly of the stars
With eyes that see full generations forever
There is no sleep, nor day or night…but labor
And I will depart as naked as I arrived…..

now this, I like

short and to the point without being too direct...if that makes sense

I can relate to this because I work with people who have half-million dollar houses and $40,000 cars...sigh

That's right, Lee. We will leave with nothing, as
we came into the world with nothing. A good
thought-provoking write.

You've got it Lee...
*Hopefully I'll leave with the same curly hair I came into the world with.*
This is extremely well done and hits it right on!

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
