He needs you That’s all there is to it Without you he’s left hanging Goes up in Dachau’s smoke Is sugar and spice in a baker’s hands Gets revalued in the next stock market crash He’s consumed and blown away Used up Without you Help him That’s what faith is He can’t bring it about […]

Generation To Generation by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In a house which becomes a home, one hands down and another takes up the heritage of mind and heart, laughter and tears, musings and deeds.

The Revolver by Carl Sandburg
