Velyn Cooper Poet I do not know?

The Commercialization of Life

……..And then things changed

Gizmos and gadgets replaced marbles and jacks

Hopscotch and See-Saw almost lost in the past  

Dinner at the table to dinner in our rooms 

Holy Days to Holidays - 

No time to give thanks.

No time for rest and family and friends

Relationships dying –

Lost to the commercialization of life.
