life stories

I have lived my life

now I am just

waiting to die

Jimmie

age 7

Speed killed my momma

Alcohol my Dad

My Uncle raped me when I was 9

some day I am going to be president

This is America

and everyone is allowed

Michelle

age 11

I don't work as well as I used to

Some parts only have memories

a young friend in his 50's

says he is going to get me a hooker whenI turn 100

Ah, the enthusiasm of youth

Carlos

95yrs

The kids are all grown

with kids of their own

All moved away

My husband passed away

suddenly last year

I think God he planned for the future

I grieved as long as I needed to

now it is my time

that handsome young stuff of 60

sure cuts a mean rug

his karaoke is pretty good too

wonder what else he can do

Marge, age 72

21 and drunk as hell

in the middle of the desert

just my last 6 pack and me

my 45 will se to that

Jim, age 21

Mom brings a different man

home

seems like all the time

my big brother is getting some

Ideas

from watching my mom

he is 7

I am 5

we sleep in the same bed

Hope, age 5
