... Really don't need anything else; ....

Image, 'Baby Boy,' (c) 2008, Karla Dorman


Poem Artwork

... have no need for the latest and greatest,
when crayons and coloring books will do.
Would be nice to buy a new HDTV, but

why bother when the nineteen inch works?
A new mattress would be a dream for the
spine, but the old's not finished with me
 
yet.  Okay, okay, so bought a new camera
a few months ago:  it was something I've
been wanting, to follow a dream.  Wasn't
 
the most expensive, this early Christmas gift
to myself, but like it fine.  Really don't need
anything else; have it all, right here:  a roof,

overhead; a bit of food; my twin sister; lots
of books and words to keep me company.
What more do I need?  Blessed.  Content.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (11/29)
