Hello my friends , Happy March !!  We have closed out another month , wow !!

I hope as this year progresses we can all take note of life and the cost of freedom we now enjoy. 

Let us all hope and pray it never ends.

Our great nation was built on one very simple idea , help your fellow man , and the gifts of kindness shall be your for the taking. I often miss the good `ole days , when we all lived in a world where if we needed more sugar all we had to do was find a neighbor and asks to borrow a cup of sugar , knowing fair well that cup will never be returned , but it was always kindly given.

Today with everyone in a rush and with 1 hour food delivery in the palm of our hands , visiting a next door neighbor for a cup of sugar has been long ago pass’e to say the least .

None the less , not everyone can get 1 hour rush delivery , sometimes we must plan our trip to get what we need.

As we place in proper order the month that has passed , let us look forward with clearer vision of what may come to pass. The choice is yours , forever shall it last.

For your reading enjoyment I offer you “ Cost “ , a new verse first offered exclusively on my blog.

Until next time , stay safe , stay well and take care.

Cost 

What price we pay ? , what plans need to be augmented or laid ?

Why do either ? 

Is this not America ? , land of the free and home of the giving heart ?

Or are we to afraid of what the idiot next door might say or think .

They concern themselves with matters that need not concern them at all .

But still there noses wonder where they do not belong .

They feel by doing so they will garner some sort of wealth or recognition .

In the end they will all be as down as you and I .

Many will call me an unworthy American , however I would rather be

considered unworthy rather than darkening my outer most extremities for no reason .

The land of the free  , home of the brave  , left for greener pastures years ago .

Many believe the ship has yet to sail .

It is off to who knows where , but trust me now  , it will get there .

By Gods grace it will.

Is patriotism not giving of ones self to benefit others in need ?

Is it not acting with a pure heart to want to do good , without ever excepting monetary gains ?

If the answer to my query be of a positive nature , then why ask at all ?

If you should even dare to ask , could I not say thou are not worthy ?

How could you dare to speak in my presence  ,  if you question my word ?

Have you not heard , I am just as human as you .

Are we not of kinder thoughts , are we not people of stronger moral character ?

Do not ask me , find a mirror and speak .

   “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.”

Thomas Jefferson

The current condition need not be a permanent condition.

Let us never crawl , let us leap forward , without haste or fear.
