What You Scatter, A lesson of life.
I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.
Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
'Hello Barry, how are you today?'
'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya.. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good.'
'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?'

Remembrance Day Poem
By Howard Wilkins
We remember those who fell
In two Great Wars, a living hell.
But tragically all's not done,
Even though those wars were won.
Our servicemen men are still engaged
In wars that are still being staged.

And sadly had their lives cut short.
So wear your poppy with all your pride,
If only for those poor souls who died.
Think of those who were so brave
Now are memories in their graves.

Mourning loved ones 'fast asleep',
Take some time to spare a thought,
For all of those who, for us, fought.

All my life I've felt alone and unloved. I don't even feel that I was ever part of a family. Even as a child being the oldest I had to sort out my own problems. Then when I had my own family I still felt like an outsider.
Thinking back I wonder if that's why I'm like I am today. I find it hard to talk to anyone if I have any problems. I try to hide my feelings and work things out for myself. Sometimes when something really gets to me I explode but even then I'll only let so much out. I just can't let anyone see how much they have hurt me.
I've...
