You Get What You Give

A poem

from the author’s private collection

I need a new perspective

Peering into water, reflective

Get what you give

Give out what you want most

No need to shout, no need to boast

You chose this life

Choose a new outlook

Glasses for sight

Life can be bright

Thanksgiving every day

Life is a great parade

Today, is the day, the Lord has made

We will rejoice and be glad in it, now

The power of now

Bow to the universe

Before, you hit the hearse

Marry a nurse

In love, give birth

A midwife to all your dreams

Only believe

Receive

Achieve

We bleed

Sacrifice what you no longer need

Never, grieve the past

It’s just a looking glass
