Thumbs up Helping Hands

Maybe, I hope so .

I was pretty wild in my youth, I left a bad home @ 8Y.O. and didn't look back so I know how badly it can go .

Pretty much everyone I knew in the 1960's is dead , mostly behind dope .

I was *very* lucky in that now and then someone (mostly Veterans) would grb me by my collar and shake me until my eyes rattled and then asked '? are you listening to me now ?' then explined how close I was to not seeing another day....

I hate seeing children die or go to jail, get caught in life's switches , so many do .

Sometimes I feel powerless to help .

I'd more say they're lucky to have my Sweet in their lives, I'm just another cranky old man .
