The quote I added from my poem CHILD ABUSE is: "Usually wants a super hero or anyone to save them "

Sitting in the dark corner kind of people Sloshing their troubles over beer and ale Rolling their eyes and making fun of pussies Who drink mixed drinks and wine Putting up their fingers and laughing at those who think they are better The idealists, the ones who have not been hurt enough by life yet Usually wants a super hero or anyone to save them Each one hoping their children will somehow carve out a bigger chunk of this awful world, and not curl up and die in it like they have.

Caren, I really like your creativity with Richard's contest. Congrats. I hope you are doing well. I am unable to be as active as I used to be here. Just so much life going on!!

Andrea, I have not had illness like I have had this week, so I finally understand something I never understood before. Please do whatever you can, and nothing extra that you cannot. Preserve the health you have my friend!

Hi Caren, this poem would have been closer to the top of my list. Unfortunately you didn’t list your poem that you chose a line from. Still I felt this piece should be recognized. Thanks for entering my contest. Hugs Rick.

Thank you Rick. I often do not notice the "little things".
