Modern Day – “I bargained with Life for a penny…”

Modern Day – “I bargained with Life for a penny…”

By Julieanne O’Connor

I compromised on my day wage,

Giving as little like a chore,

Exhausted by evening I cried,

Complaining my life was a bore.

For life is exactly what you make it,

Nothing less and nothing more,

Wherever you have set the bar,

Will make you rich or poor.

I settled for pennies on the dollar,

Only to learn by mistake,

I would have received anything,

I trusted in my life I could make.

So plan on your wildest dreams,

Set the bar to the sky,

For then upon your death bed,

Success will have NOT passed you by.

Who knew?

Who knew life could be this good?  Taste so rich.  Be so interesting.  Come with so many twists and still be happening!

Mr. O.

Even if your husband is grumpy in the morning.  Remember that it is rare.  Be grateful for he is a man.  A man amongst men and a man of so much goodness and love.  A man of so much willingness to be with you.  Aum for my husband Mr. O.
