    Dear Friend,

    Please look both ways before you cross me,

    Because lifes a…

    Unkind place

    And soon you will find

    That your lips will speak words your….

    Soul….. cant cash

    And the Lord don’t like bounced checks.

    So check this….

    Never say, what you’ll never do

    Because this life thing has a funny way of…

    Toying with you.

    Oh but this is not child’s play,

    This life is real

    Really real.

    So please

    Look both ways before you cross me

    Dear Friend

    If most would only take heed to words such as these, much strife could be avoided. I really like the way one thought just expanded into another, for example in these lines:

    Perfect title for this piece too. Welcome back.

    *take notes
    On crossing a busy intersection, never tread on the yellow (caution) light! ...it's like playing 'Roughen Roulette' ..so always make it a habit to cross on the green...Dear Friend.
    Elexcellent piece poet!
