The Skeleton

A bone foundation, covered with meat and skin Like limbs of a tree, some are strong and some are broken And some skeletons hide in closets

Very thought provoking, Danny. With so much hunger in America we see many people who seem to be covered with just a bit of "meat and skin." The last line is a nice twist! Love, Carolyn
