"When the poor give to the rich, the devil laughs."
"Daddy-by Nancy B. Brewer When I used to say, speak up you are as good as they, You would just smile and say, let them have their way. When in my foolish youth, I so often disobeyed,He would just smile and say, let her have her way. When summer passed and winter overcame. He was not afraid, never once did he say. When in the moonlight his final hour came, He just smiled and said Lord I'll go your way."

"When Love Was New When love was newand life was young,and once we walkedin gracious sun,I never dreamt of darker days,or feared that fate had cruel ways. When life was strongand love was free,and time was onceeternity -we never planned for more or less,nor stopped to think we should digress. When love was youngand life was new,and everythingwas once our due,I never doubted what I owned,nor knew the cost was merely loaned. Now love is triedand life is old,and still my feetdrag down the road -not knowing where it all has gone,nor how much more it still goes on. But life grows newand love gets old,and this tired heartstays off the cold -not caring it compares with fools,nor wise enough to fear the rules.-Drea Damara"

The only one who holds him down. Yet, he still leaves. He walks through the door and with each step my heart leaps. He crumbles to the ground in tears telling me he's sorry.
