One pair of stinky tennis shoes.
Two sets of worn out clothes.
Three small, very small meals a day.
And nothing left of my past but an old, old Bible.

Post a CommentNice poem, we're very fortunate.
We are greatly blessed to live in America. where even the poorest amongst us is richer than many in other nations, who were not founded on God.
This is very well written. You say a great deal in just a few lines.
Wow! What a powerful message!
We all must realize what is truly important.
Short, but the intention was there, and a great message for me!
