Treasures are lost and can’t be found.

Why I Cry

I wake up warm in a nice soft bed,
With a solid shelter above my head.
My pantry is stocked with all that I need.

I see it everywhere.
I suppose it rhymes with Noah.
but it's meaning I can't share.

It's not in the dictionary
I've search it through and through.
To define it I am wary

I'm glad to be reminded of this poem I love so much. It is so fitting for today's issues. I would like to post it on Facebook, would you give me permission? I would, of course give you full credit.

This poem resonated with me, especially in an election year. Let's not ask alligators to drain the swamp again. We know it doesn't work.

This poem made me laugh. I love the ending... Letting your wife finish in perfect rhyme and rhythm. A great metaphor for life with ADD. Thanks for the smile.
