Toil
I am as constant as the stars. From your soul I shall never depart. The fever grips her in large part in the phase of popular charts. For you I am forever in debt about the things you never said. Issue warnings of winter’s dread. To see you is my one regret. She bathes inside the plastic jar, taking the joke much too far. It...

Dear Federal Senators, I am asking you to protect Medicaid because
our home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their clients would also lose their necessary services. If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators. They are more interested in providing unnecessary tax cuts for billionaires who don't really need them instead of protecting the very best interests of lower income...

There’s a hell of a lot going on inside my mind I wish I could tell you everything The way you always used to listen.

Premium Member A Stroke of Bad Luck
The elderly Elmer Brown dwelled alone, like a solitary tree on a hill, Loving quiet, glazed life still, in burgundy, sunset moments of until. A widower, Elmer Brown had generations of offspring, living far away, Feeling fresh, foreign breezes, in fruitful terrains, younger than today. Though retired, Elmer had his hobbies, which gave much satisfaction; Like a storm of sudden,...
