Humbled Plea

Brother, hungry, got a buck? I’m hurtin’, I got no work, Give me a lift in your truck? I feel like a worthless jerk…

Thanks for your comment, Rob. It seems Morgan Freeman is admired by many. That poem wrote itself as I was thinking about how old he's getting now. Love, Carolyn

Rob, let me know when you post a poem about the camaraderie on the fishing pier. It was really wonderful. I live alone and don't know many people here, so it was the best day I've had in a long time. Unfortunately, I'm still quite sunburnt. Love, Carolyn

There are a lot of people feeling "worthless" now because they can't find work, Rob. Just yesterday at the fishing pier a man was hoping to catch dinner for his family, but only caught stingrays that had to be thrown back. Before I left, I gave him the whiting I'd caught and he was so grateful. I wish the camaraderie found at that pier could be found everywhere. People trade fish, donate fish, all in good fellowship. You poem obviously got me thinking... Love, Carolyn
