He Is Not Stressed

Whatever was done,
Had been demeaned and declared as easy.
Back 'then'...
In 'those days' folks can not leave!

Simple were his deeds considered.
Back 'then'...
In 'those days' folks can not leave!
And criticized for his desires,
To obtained success.
Back 'then'...
In 'those days' folks can not leave!

But that was yesterday!

Today...
He is not stressed at all!
Nor overly protective,
Of an investment,
Others made at a loss in pretentiousness.

And again he finds himself,
Blessed to be ahead of the rest!
And sharing a happiness...
For him that has been cost effective!

And those folks back 'then'...
In 'those days' they could not leave,
Are still there!
