I Have Nothing Else

If I gave you the sun, moon, and stars why isn't it enough? If I changed spots that were deemed unchangeable, Why do you beg me to change? If I’m in debt for giving you my very last dime, Why is your hand still out? Why do folk still ask you for things when you are way past empty? Alexis Y. 04/11/2021

Hello alxis Y. the only person to change is you to change yourself. No one can do it for you. Tell that person to work for the money. Your not a bank. Hugs darlene

Very heartfelt verse, Alexis, not all are like that, my friend.

Because one can always do more than one thinks one can do! We are all limited by the borders of our mind which can always be stretched to new horizons! Aloha! Rico

You gave everything, why ask for more?
