Was going to use the word poor but for alliteration only
See there is nothing poor here
Just missed and for the time being that is the way it is
Somebody noticed that I give to charities and never take anything for it
They give you free treats which others might want or need
You only see the surface and never really know what is going on in another's world
Wearing one of my beloved Care bear masks, I heard someone say she really is a Human Care Bear
Still speechless, I am reminded that I am rich in family and friends
My poetry always by my side
A lot of Love and simple pleasures that make me wealthy
Doing good makes me happy even now and always
You do the very best you can and sometimes more when others are not looking

Although it's like
herding a bunch of cats

this is your life
the first day the rest and all that

dust

dirt

and bunnies

it counts
all of it

I feel your shivers nestling inside me,
The trace of your embrace, I want to cry
Amid old dreams, I wonder
And I don't wonder, I run, and don't run,
Why are you coming?

Your breath touches my hand,
I cling to your whisper,
Sitting at the table, asleep by the mystery
You love the white paper,

We meet în the same thought, on the same line,
In the same letter,
We embrace in the same word, in oblivion.

Even if we
aren't
certain where we're
going
I don't feel
lost
when I'm beside
you.
