One life to live, and we live it half-empty, and afraid!

Faces along the bar

Cling to their average day:

The light must never go out,

The music must always play,......

Lest we should see where we are,

Lost in a haunted wood,

Children afraid of the night

Who have never been happy or good.

Very good poem. The kitty in the picture looks sweet.

Thank you, that is my kitten Harley, and he is so sweet and purrs all the time.
