bare but Filling (here)
No, I have enough to come by
There were occasions I would cry
Immediate wants might be limited
Confined to those I had needed
More time I would need to spend
Suffice to survive on a limited stipend
It would come a long way if able
I would desire to be more comfortable
Choices are rightly open for the asking
Not freely at hand but enough for sharing
Scarcity determining the spread of wants
On the side of choices but some fun
What then the outcome are the regrets
The road not taken might offer some help
Given the choice perhaps get another shot
Could have been something really hot
Would not be something overly luxurious
Having more resources but not hilarious
But just able to give back to society
Having more resources but not hilarious
But just able to give back to society
Not to the point of pockets being empty

Our choices are often limited by our circumstances, and expanded by our dreams or aspirations. Very nice portrayal of this conundrum.
ReplyDeleteThe last two lines are lovely. Sadly we have these dreams of giving, but they're reigned in by our needs. Excellent poem.
ReplyDeleteGood read here Hank. Choices are always limited by means, as is Charity. But a balanced and able commitment to both brings peace to ones life. Kudos my friend… 👍🏼🙂✌🏼❤️
ReplyDeleteI only did this one time, get a take out lunch for a "hungry fellow", with a sign saying he was hungry. Several times I have filled a gas tank for the one lurking at the gas station. A good read, Hank.
ReplyDelete..
Wants or needs become a choice indeed. Nice poem
ReplyDeleteSome nice rhyming and half-rhyming here, Hank. And your point is very well made about factors that may limit our choices.
ReplyDeleteGood one Hank. No regrets I say and make a choice.
ReplyDeleteIndeed choices are never just arbitrary decisions
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the rhyming
Much💛love
I seldom wonder about the roads I chose not to wander ... don't know if that's wise or not. I enjoyed your poem, Hank!!!
ReplyDeleteEmpty pockets really aren't very helpful, are they?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, choices are often limited to means. Great poem, Hank!
ReplyDeleteMoney isn’t the only way to give back to society, but, yes, it is nice to be able to have extra from time to time to share.
