Give me a break.
Lend me a dime.
Grill me a steak,
whatever will rhyme.
But what’s more important
than the things that you do,
is the time that I spend
doing something for you.
When embalmed in reception,
One is deep in a cave,
picking grapes off a frond,
thirty steps from the grave.
One must emerge
from the cave to survive.
Being useful to others
Is what keeps one alive.
