So many friends I do have, better than money, but would be nice to have that as well...:)ed(:
Poor Though I May Be… Poor I may be, right now in this life, I have been rich in friends my entire life, They have been there for me, all through that of my strife, Quite a few new ones I have found, of late on this site… Poor in money I may be right now, I have had it to spend on others in the past and how, Know that I did spend more than my share, My apologies to the self, to Rene & Rufuz, it isn’t fair, Spent and spent we both did, but I don’t think I ever thought, That it would go away, it did, but I am not cryin’, A moment in life we all had that was more than rare… I still have Rene’ & Rufuz and my home on wheels, We both now have our health and friends, so that is our wealth, If ever again, the richness of money does come our way, Well, we will most likely do the same thing we did the last time, like above I say, After buying what we want, a new motorhome, and a couple automobiles… © ed – 7/27/04

I'd say this a "head-screwed-on-just-right" poem from a thinker with a heart of gold, Eddie M. With those to love and being loved back, wealth takes on a whole new, giddy meaning. Keep evolving, my friend... you do it sooooooo well. (grin) Wonderful piece. katy xox.

Oh Yeah!! haven't we all been here a time or two? Yep! I know that the material is what proves some people "MADE IT"! but actually...that "material weights us down sometimes until it owns us. I live simple. I have love and beauty all around me. My life isn't congested any longer and though we all give it comes back two fold most times. You have life and a faithful companion and the ability to get up and change your garden any time the wheels want to roll. Some would envy you and your riches.
Great write we can get into here.
