Giggle

Giggle-I didn't.
Sing-I didn't.
Conform-I didn't.

Walk-I did.
Trudged-I did.

Nothing on mind- A life forgotten.

I walked.
And walked.

Found him
By my path.

Together
A path created
for those behind.
A world revealed
With him by my side.
Cause I had him for support.
Cause I had him to support.

6- Customer service will hangup on you.
7- Personalize every meeting.
8- Women 'can't' work late.
