Buried Treasure, Why?

Why do people bury or lock up their treasure?
It seems to me keeping it safe keeps the owners under too much pressure

You need to remember where you put it and how to get there
If locked in a safe, with whom is the combination shared?

If you can't enjoy your wealth what good is it?
Wealth that is hidden is like a comedian without wit.

Your wealth is your friends, family, talent, money, gold or jewels
All of which should be enjoyed and shared, love should rule

There are those who love to search for treasure underground
To them I would say get your head up and look around

Why do you spend your life looking for that one big find?
The wealth and truth you seek won't give you peace of mind

Life is about sharing, caring and believing the Word
Treasure hunting outside of your own backyard can become absurd.

4 Flags For Four Brothers

James, William called Specks, Charles, and John Fought in the"Great War" and now are gone Two in the Army, a Paratrooper and a Marine All four came home from places where life was brutal in the extreme Four families were raised, some close some farther away The war was rarely if ever spoken about at home in those bygone days My father was James, and only in his last months here on earth Did he speak about the beach where men died with eyes open wide while on their rifles they were perched War heroes die on the battlefield every day Some here in our streets and some in countries far away War on crime or war overseas There are people in uniform protecting you and me James and his brothers are just a handful of men That served their country when it needed them So I put out four flags every Memorial Day A small salute for a debt that can't be repaid

You're Blocking My Driveway!

Returning home from my weekly women's breakfast and what do I see? A heating and plumbing truck blocking my driveway and it wasn't for me! I honked my horn and waited patiently As it finally  moved out of the way and I was free To pull into my driveway and I hoped they'd stay away but it wasn't to be. When I came out an hour later to go shopping my driveway again wasn't clear and free. The same truck was blocking it and this time they almost wouldn't move for me. I expressed my displeasure at where they chose to be and, If they did it again I would cause trouble, believe you me! Upon my return they were nowhere that I could see. The end of my driveway was clear and free. That made a much more relaxed and happier me.
