Well-Provided
http://people.lulu.com/users/index.php?fHomepage=282976
Living with less
Than the bond of dreams
The share of promises
The mortgage of hopes
The IOU of love
Frees the mind of credit and debit
Makes room in heart’s pockets
For the benefits from life’s unexpected enterprises
New deal
Today
Costs me nothing
No penny
No farthing
No cent
Only time
The currency in my heart
The coinage my mouth phrases
Our stock-exchanged thoughts
Close on a high
Today
I am
A successful Entrepreneur
Sitting Pretty
Your legacy
Left me well-provided
On this rare smile I can
Still feast for hours I still
Drink in your words the memory
Of your touch still ties me over freezing nights
Carefree I live on the leftovers of one single meal of love
