A Thief A thief came into my life and took some things away. I must go on without them but I find it hard some days. I must ask for a drink, for the sink's beyond my reach. I must ask to go to bed and end the lesson life had to teach. One lesson I may never learn is to tame my temper foul. For when I think of what PD took, I simply want to howl! Perhaps in time I'll accept live's rhyme and not give vent to my anger dire. But it is a pain to be nice and tame, when the cat lets the air out of my tire! Marvin Giles.
