Sometimes, I only want to give once...but boy, that isn't the end of it for the organization which seems to outspend my donation on pleas for more. I still give. But, I'd much rather give locally to an organization that won't hit me with mailings, calls or e-mails. Great idea for a poem!Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-87956446013097249312022-09-09T09:16:03.585-06:002022-09-09T09:16:03.585-06:00Forgot to sign in, previous comment mine, Jama. :)...Forgot to sign in, previous comment mine, Jama. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-30272485639706969672022-09-09T09:15:32.497-06:002022-09-09T09:15:32.497-06:00Clever found poem.

We all try to do what we can, and part of the anxiety is deciding which causes resonate the most with each of us. Gun violence? Yes. Ukraine aid? Yes. Abortion rights? Yes.

Emergency requests are coming in to my mailbox too. A crisis without choice is a strong statement. It is a sad state of affairs juxtaposed against the regal passing of the beloved Queen Elizabeth.
