The Old Goodwill

Rated "G" by the Author.

Become a Fan

Sometimes all we need is family love.

the old goodwill

Goodwill of others I wear a yellow stain

Walking to school no wealth to gain.

I'd like a shirt newer; white not so blue

like other kids wear walking to school.

I use to be six now I am ten

we've got Goodwill; here we go again.

Mother waits tables up apple pie hill

One dollar sixty-six from the old goodwill.

The money is lower the rent is sky high

always they’re saying, "we can barely get by!"

Love in the millions we eat our food

it's someone else's mustard

I am wearing to school.

My shirt is from the Goodwill

No doubt we are poor…

But, love is in abundance

I could not ask for more.

So down-to-earth, I can almost see you kicking stones on the road as you trudge off to school in your mustard-stained shirt. What a beautiful perspective you have on the things that really matter! Connie
