I am somewhere beautiful

My toes are not frozen

and the ice on the windows

is kind of pretty.

My cupboards won't be bare

if I fill them with books.

"No! We are not poor!"

I will tell the kids when they ask.

Money is just money,

but this

this is how good character is made

this how to learn patience

and priority.

I will not cry in the dim light

Crying won't change a thing

and my tears would freeze.

I am not suffering

I am somewhere beautiful.
