Bounty--By Gerald Heyder--United States

Bounty

It’s not hard to quote the immortal bard

when he wrote, “How much sharper than

a serpent’s tooth is an ungrateful child.”

Sad to say in this day and age, how many

of us are ungrateful, perhaps even hateful

when we take for granted what we have

and are disenchanted for what we do

not possess, hence we are hard pressed

for thankfulness though we are blessed

I pray every day for my unlimited bounty

Gerald Heyder loves to write as well as draw cartoons. He also enjoys vintage movies, TV shows and oldies music.  He once served a hitch in the military. His favorite subject is history. “That’s it!”
