Generation of Bling

Amazing piece...

Bill
I love the message in this piece.

Standing tall does not involve a silk suit
Clothes do not make the man
How you dispatch the trouble in your life
Defines all that you can truly be
It is what sets you free

How true... it is not what the man dons on the outside but the compassion, kindness and courage within. Sometimes it takes a tragedy for some to realize that things don't matter it is the heart and soul of the person that count.

Some people never understand
Others wait until the hand of death
I implore you, find it for yourself
Pound out the rhythm of your own beat
Make the day of everyone that you meet

I love the ending. Just a smile sometimes can make anothers day.
Great job!
Love Cindy
