"I have my dreams and nothing else matters now"


Poem Artwork

Could Be Worse

So it turns out the attorney is a crook?
What else is new?
I nevertheless have a rather impressive book
And I have you
So I can say now I have all I need today

The crookery is so intense
Those in the know keep me in deep suspense
Reluctant to say just how bad just now
Forgetting to be upsetting to me
Conveniently and for the best

I just hope they put things right then put him away
To make an example of him for the rest

But bookery is so sublime
For me such a grateful and graceful time
No matter what nor the manner how
He further enriched himself at my expense
I have my dreams and nothing else matters now

He can neither take this book from me nor rhyme
His way out of his ways so he will do his
Time in the text of the next book a textbook cad
Another inspiration in reverse
A sharp eye blinded dodging for the dime

One should never be surprised yet always is
When the attorney is a crook
What else is new?
I still have a very nice book
I still have you

Not too bad
Could be worse

Dear Steven
Love & Blessings to you during this time and always!
It seems we are often being taught that the earth is not
our real home, and that it's all about the journey...
Love & friendship Suzie :-D

What happened, Steven? Your attitude is the right one. There will always be those that prey on others. They can take the material, but we are left intact knowing our true worth and that of those we love. Hope it turns out better than feared, my friend...

Very well said. In the end, we may only have our dignity and our legacy of children, love and creativity...can't take the money with you.
