MONEY PLANT
She cut through the swathes of money plant surrounding and hiding the house. Her mother had loved to nurture it because of the belief that it brought wealth.

A DIFFERENCE
How was your first day, Sally? Great Bess. Rural school, beautiful countryside. Children eager. From hardworking background. Great classroom. Wonderful principal! How was yours? (Sighs) The less said the better! School in a homeless shelter. Not even a proper classroom. No material, furniture, principal. Unruly kids, uninterested parents. Ruin, chaos, confusion... That's enough to put … Continue reading A DIFFERENCE
LES MOUSQUETAIRES
We were inseparable, as neighbors, Sunday school friends, schoolmates, college roomies together everywhere. Our regular haunt, this diner. The owners knew us and our preferences. Didn't need to order. We spent holidays together - cycling, swimming, sleepovers, book reading, sightseeing. Our parents always knew where to find us.

Wealth doesn't mean wealthy, Riches don't denote richness. Property mayn't ensure prosperity, Finance won't imply freedom. Provision can't provide perspective, These are but evanescent! Affluence accounts but won't give access, Gifts goad but may not impart grace. Income induces but can't instill interest, Equity excites but doesn't extend existence. Valuables vouch but don't add value, These are but fleeting! Investment … Continue reading TRENDING PASTURES
A PLAINT
Here you lie among thistles and thorns Forlorn, forsaken, forgotten? No, never, by me, Witness my seat by you! You ask why I stay, Ah, my love, how can I not?
