Where are you hiding my love? Each day without you will never come again. Even today you missed a sunset on the ocean, A silver shadow on yellow rocks I saved for you, A squirrel that ran across the road, A duck diving for dinner. My God! There may be nothing left to show you Save wounds and weariness And hopes grown dead, And wilted flowers I picked for you a lifetime ago, Or feeble steps that cannot run to hold you, Arms too tired to offer you to a roaring wind, A face too wrinkled to feel the ocean's spray. James Kavanaugh
About This Quote

When I was younger I always wanted to be rich. I thought that money could solve all my problems. Unfortunately, now that I am older, I realize that money does not solve any problems or make me happy. All it has ever done is buy me things that I didn't need and waste my time.

Now I am much wiser and know better than to spend all of my time trying to get rich. What I need to do is spend my time doing the things that will keep me happy, like spending time with friends and getting back to nature by hiking the trails in the woods. Spend time with family and friends so that you don't end up alone, lost in your own mind.
