Interest On Time

Loaned to all at one’s birth, a life and time,
For some, a life time paying back every dime.

Very nice..hook with the title Harry [re: me and the bullies..I never knuckled under to bullies even as a little girl, I might cry /often did/ BUT I stood my ground through the tears. I'm pretty much the same now. I'd defend anyone I thought needed help. I still pick up hitch hickers on occasion! I have hitch hikered too when my car ran out of gas.

Part of not getting hurt in this world is not presenting yourself as a victim. Sometimes..here..in cyberspace..and in the real world kindness is viewed as a weakess. It isn't. Even in martial arts I always 'pulled my punches' violence is a last resort. Bye for now Harry.] Light & Love
