I'm cast upon the dusty wall
crowded inside the tiny hall
in every stick
in every brick
upon his rough calloused hands
in their golden wedding bands
stitched into the baby's quilt
carved in the table he built
seeping through the crack
of a two room shack

In case you may wonder the love is the narrator in this poem and the reason is many times I read poems about poor people that talks about everything they do not have. Well I have walked into alot of poor peoples' homes and what I see they that have that money can not buy is the love that lives there. To me nothing speaks louder than
love or is more valuable.
