Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

Where I Should Be

Seeing through the distant window
While sitting, working at my desk
I see a world outside and thriving
While within my world, an awful mess

I work each day to earn more money
I dream one day, my bills be paid
Imagine that, such simple dreams
Because of many choices made

I opted for a family
I’ve no regrets of that I say
For there’s a love that makes me rich
I’d have it just no other way

But due to having made my choices
The need to work, provide’s a must
I toil each day, often missing
The little things that mean so much

Phyllis Babcock October 1, 2008 at 12:50 PM You speak the truth Micheal. So many times we think if only we had more money we could do this or that . We make choices and committments along the way and sometimes miss the things that mean so much. But in the long run if you do not have family and friends and love what good is money. God Bless Phyl I just quit one of my jobs so I will be feeling the pinch to.

Carrie Richards October 1, 2008 at 6:56 AM Unfortunately, you speak for so many of those who have to struggle to keep afloat...often it takes so much precious time to pay the bills. How sad that one misses out on the little moments, the precious moments in life, just to keep a family safe and protected. God Bless, ~Carrie
