upon my saddened heart,...

To preserve wholeness, mutually accommodate;
    yielding preserves whole.

Imagine
If we had electric cars
we could have parking meters
that charged those cars 
well shopping or at work

deducting the cost 
automatically from our banks
allowing electric cars 
to be charged at work, home and play

This world is changing,
Rearranging
People don't seem to care
Maybe they just Don't dare
Leaders

The bad seeders
Thinking they know what's best 
We the people, are the rest.

And have had our fill.

And I can,

In a Strange Land With Strange People
I left, 
I left my homeland.
I would have loved  to stay.

Down memory lane...
Rocked by sleeves with love,
All stared with love.
Love never crossed my mind,
It was always in my mind.
That was life.
Love was life.

that was totally discovered at a younger age.
