Inspired by life, people, and spirit, I write. Sometimes from pain, sometimes from amusement. It doesn't matter. It's the picture it paints. Enjoy and comment. I love to hear what individual poems do for others. Please note: all material is copyright protected. Let me know if you want one to use elsewhere.

I see what I want to ignore
Unable to hide from it anymore
My happy face has gone away
And now don’t want to go out and play
There are people starving
With many more in pain and dying
No real homes for warmth or shelter
Our world has become helter skelter
Sitting here on a soft warm bed
I can’t get their pain out of my head
I wish there was something I could do
But I don’t know and neither do you

Glad you could stop by for a visit. Take a skim across this pond of words for something that connects. Maybe you'll laugh, feel a heart-tug, hopefully you won't cry, and in the end you'll know you're not alone. Peace.
