I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store; For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial’s hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have paid. by Jessie B. Rittenhouse

I’ve asked life for the most PRECIOUS gift of all, yet I sit here looking at these walls. At first my thoughts made me cry, then ball. Now I realize I must climb refusing to fall. Seeing that this is the beginning of it all. I sing at the top of my lungs standing strong and tall. -JAYJJOY- IF YOU DESERVE MORE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE ROOM FOR IT BY LETTING GO OF ALL THAT YOU’VE BEEN SETTLING FOR. -Tony Gaskins-….
