The Commercialization of Life

……..And then things changed Gizmos and gadgets replaced marbles and jacks Hopscotch and See-Saw almost lost in the past Dinner at the table to dinner in our rooms Holy Days to Holidays - No time to give thanks. No time for rest and family and friends Relationships dying – Lost to the commercialization of life.

How sad, but true. A number of my best memories have been commercialized.
