Enough

The difference between living and surviving life

Is a yawning, black chasm that swallows optimism like a

Fine meal. 

The difference between living and surviving life

Is measured by the freshness of the food you feed

Your children.

It is bacon on a Sunday morning, and buying diapers

Before they run out.

It is walking into a bank without cold fear at your throat.

It is knowing that when something breaks, it can be fixed;

When it runs out, it can be replenished.

To know how much is enough is a virtue earned by having want and need

As companions.
