A Touch of Class

A Touch Of Class

A touch of class, I wish I had, but what is that?
To some people - it means to be rich. Others just
say that they have class, for reasons that only 
they know.

If you have money - you got class. If you don't
you are considered trash, or so they say. Class
I think comes in different forms.

Some people marry into class. Some people gain
class and some people are born with class. To
have class is to never brag about your exploits.
Let others do it for you.

A touch of class is like a touch of MINK. You see it 
but you can't catch it. To have class is to respect
others and to respect yourself. That's what I think 
is CLASS...

Timothy Hicks March 21, 2013 at 12:34 AM You seem to know what it's all about. Class I think is a personality trait (not something you wear to go about your day... or the expensive possessions you may have)... you must first have compassion and a heart for class to be worth anything, methinks. "Let others do it for you" << wise words Lucilla! My favorite part of the poem...

Wayland Bunch March 18, 2013 at 9:46 PM Well I think with your poems and comments you show a lot of class. Thanks for your comment on my spanish poem, but I don't know when that will be happening again lol. I enjoyed this poem mi amiga, buen trabajo de nuevo.

Anne-Lise Andresen February 3, 2013 at 2:13 PM Here in Norway we have not so much "Class" - some have it better than others economically but there are those who are poor too. - Regardless of money, gold and precious thing ..... are they happy? - I have food on the table every day, and are happy. - A very good poem Lucilla, I like it. - Have a nice new week. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :) Lucilla Carrillo February 3, 2013 at 4:29 PM You are right Anne Lise. I'm glad that you liked the poem.

Russell Sivey February 3, 2013 at 2:09 PM This is a tremendous and wondrous write my friend! I really enjoyed reading this wonderful poem this afternoon! I feel I have class, but with little to no money, a different kind of class! You have delighted me with this fantastic write! What a remarkable piece, Great Work!! Lucilla Carrillo February 3, 2013 at 4:23 PM Thanks for your kind words. You know most of the time we poor people get dis criminated by the rich, but without us - they would not be rich. We both need eachother. The thing is that you don't need to have money to have class.

Constance La France February 3, 2013 at 12:49 PM L, a deep and profound poem, well done, it left me thinking, I think to have class you need no money or fancy anything, that class and dignity come from within. Constance Lucilla Carrillo February 3, 2013 at 4:13 PM You are right. I think the same way.
