Are we poor ?...

Once my daughter asked if she could have something and I told her no, I didn't have any money and she did not need it. She asked me, " Mommy are we poor? ".... I just found out that friends of mine are loosing their house and it made me think back to that question my daughter had asked. I sit quietly and think of all of the people I know and love. I have been blessed to have traveled a great deal when I was younger. I have been to other countries and all over this wonderful land of ours. I have seen riots and angry mobs like the OWS people who claim to be poor. Many of them are looking for places to recharge their i pods and i phones. They act like my little child, if I can't have it now, I am poor. No children, I have seen poor. When you knock on the door of a stranger to beg for a dollar to feed your baby, when there is nothing left for you to give, that is poor. The poor in America are rich in other nations. Many of our poor have televisions, refrigerators and cars. Our poor have hope. My friends are not poor they have each other, they have love, they have God. How about you? ......Now it is time to annoy the dog again, love and peace to you all...
