Secrets

Through the door walked a big little boy wearing a ball cap, torn jeans and dirty tennis shoes.  The door keeps his secrets locked deep within where no one will know his shame or his sin.  His T-Shirt is smeared with his blood and his tears.  "Why did I have to send that stupid text?"

  10. Monkey Man- I suspect kids aren't the only ones who have issues. They are just more susceptible to the hazards.

    Yvonne Osborne- Yeah, once it's out there...

    Morning- Thank you! I still have an old style flip phone, and send most of my texts via PC.

  11. WHAT?? You leave me with a mystery like that, you Vixen of the 55. :) :)

    And the photo of the guy sitting on the bench with his Starbucks and technology makes me smile -- we all look like that today, eh, with our iPods and phones. And lattes!! :)
