My Life Story - Part 1

I grew up in a normal family, A story told by different people, with the same affinity. Grew along with the same saying, "The richer gets richer and the poor gets poorer". Never did I care to look into the latter side, Never did I weep for those impecunious. All along I was enticed in the richness, That never did I know I will fall below. Then did I know what it felt like, Being indigent, hungry, thirsty and in solitude. A light of hope was sent from above, I gained my strength to fight back, Not to be enticed in the same richness, But for those dwelling below just as I was.

I'm looking forward to reading the next part of the story Allen - I particularly like the final stanza in your verse - and there definitely is more to life than money:-) hugs Jan xx
