Apology To the Thief

We have not enought time as it is for those we love. We have very few possessions that we MUST keep. We have life and blood and life and flesh. WE have. Keep the thief far away from me oh please. He makes me think that we have done everything all wrong. He takes from me and takes away my song. Life is hard unless you live upon the top. Shoes and other clothing belong on us. Take someones elses belongings from them if you must. But remember this on December in the frost. We need our coats and shoes and hats. To sleep in slumber under cover of the night. To live the life of wonder meant for us. Please give to me my thefts and make them right. Please steal from someone else this time.
