Cache of Words

 

I doesn’t seem like a lot,


but I’ll use a Ben Franklin


analogy here—a penny


saved is a penny earned.


Word for word each day,


day after day, month after


month, year after year in


the making, I have laid


my thoughts onto the page.



One blank sheet to begin


with has turned into a


library of volumes. And


for all its worth, depending


upon how you look at it,


I have spent or saved with


words an entire lifetime


in getting here.



Damn, I’m a multi-millionaire!


Some days, I’ll spend my worth


sparingly, some days lavishly.
