All things can make a footprint on us Yet we can still lose the shoe Knowledge leads the humble man Riches lead the fool

Just holding onto the positive influences, not the negative ones is a very smart way to live... You pack so much wisdom into these four short lines. So well done, Arthur.

Dear Arthur This is a very stirring piece here my kind hearted friend, your comment moved me by the way, I can't let what is happening with me take over my life, I have to much to get better for, I will strive on and move forward whatever happens in the future, life constant is that nothing stays the same, all things change, including us human beings, I will not let this medical problem define me, take care and no more tears ok, when you think of me smile, cheri

It all depends on what one defines as riches! :) If I make you smile, it makes me smile! :)
