what the gypsy says

you will prosper
and be rich, but
there are times
when you will be
poor too, so save
your money. your
heart will be broken
but then healed
again and again
as you find new
love. you are
resilient and
strong that way.
your children
will not listen
when they are
young, but they
will understand
as they get older
and love you all
the more. you will
have sadness in
your life as
loved ones die,
and as people fail
you, but joy too,
as you make new
friends. and how do
you know all of this,
i ask her. and she
smiles, i tell
everyone exactly
the same thing. oh,
and by the way,
be careful out there,
when you leave.
the traffic is
bad crossing the road.
