Jim Yerman Poet Rhyme

WHAT DO WE LIVE FOR

May we be blessed to think about the words of Mary Ann Evans
better known as George Eliot
Who understood the relationship between us all
how we are all related as sisters and brothers…

When she asked the question

What do we live for…if not to make life less difficult for one another.
