Nobody could have said it better. You are so right. Good work Cryssa. Truly, happiness begins within. If we can learn to make the best of what we have, we all can be happy 365 days a year.

You truly are one of those persons who spends as much or more time laying up treasures in heaven rather than dwelling on the concerns and stuff of this life. I hope that everyone will have at least a minimum of the comforts and enjoyments of this life while all of us learn to use resources without plundering the planet. One of the more precious things our good life brings us is time to think. You say and use it well here, Cryssa..............Jerry

...never been to your Haiti, but I know what you mean. I remember coming home from Peru around Christmas time, and getting a tv as a gift. I felt guilty every time I watched it. But then, late nights with the brother, enjoying comedies made it all palatable.

Every day around the world, food is been throw away because of "consume before", yesterday bread are thrown because there in new baked today, people fill swimming pools with water as other people died of thirst.
No wonder we are going to Hell on a hand basket!

Such a well thought-out and delivered poem, Cryssa. More than a challenge, this would be brilliant to submit somewhere suitable as its message is so clear and inspiring. You truly bring your thoughts home and certainly make me consider and see every image you offer up here. Bless you, xx

We may not need this fancy stuff, but I will fight to the death in order to keep it. It is not "stuff" that is the problem, it is the mindset. Truly good poem. I just took it a bit differently than did the others.

The things we take for granted the poor in the world have very little of and die for lack of water and food while we over eat ourselves into early graves due to obesity. Great Poem Cryssa.

Dear Cryssa, this word, Profligate is so appropriate for this moment in time. First, since World War II, the entire United States was spoiled by the abundance of goods, to the point that we, as Americans became profligate. Today, government became worse. Our dollar is falling every day and no one realizes that the Nobel Prize given to our president is political and nothing else than to convert us to European politics.
Lovely words but who can remember this word? For sure not me. Anyway you made of it a beautiful and meaningful poem. Thank you for sharing. Love Emile

So very, very true. I realized this when I went with my first husband and our son to Acapulco in the early 70's. We had to walk by moms begging, dirty babies on the side walk, and garbage pickers outside the luxury hotels. I couldn't enjoy our time there at all. Excellent poem Cryssa.

You took a word and made it beautiful, with a lesson, to boot: well done, Cryssa, challenge met and far surpassed! =] Would that we all learn what those in the supposedly 'Third World' nations have done, to be resourceful and thankful for the little blessings! Makes us appreciate the big ones even more! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
