Roses are what color?
Grown for all, appreciated by a lover.
Allowance for this brief moment of retreat.
On this road of life another fork I meet.
Which way to go, which way to lead.
Understand that growth comes with planting a seed.

Up, down, right, left - just live for the sake of love.
Its all the better when life is treasured from above.
Cherish the gift of each day in every way.
It isn't always what you think, it sometimes what you say.

Don't judge, don't hurt, don't make silly excuses.
Don't yell, don't argue, don't blow your mind fuses.
Love, gentleness, kindness, truth, beauty of the moment
Expression of the best you can be can help the others sent.

While I contemplate the way in which seem right for me.
I address that Yes there is sadness, for a need to be free.
Not caged to a financial string, that pulls me like a puppet.
Not stuck to whom I am because of the lack of money I make of it.

But, look inside this person I have become.
I would give you my last cent, if you needed some.
It not worth anything if our success can't be shared.
Immediately I remember a child eyes In which I stared.

She wasn't any different than you or I except by social grace.
She was born in poverty, white trash of this human race.
Intelligent, bright, giving and overly bizarre.
There I was more concern about people in this world, than their money by far.

I guess in life one tries to fit in.
I never knew being poor, was a closer doorway to sin.
As I grow in life cycle and begin to understand.
I appreciate hard work, values, ethics and a hope for goodness in the end.

Its not about money...but it does make it easier for those fortunate enough for this blessing

Night everyone.
