The Best Bargin Ever
by Carl WalkerHe cheated me but lost instead
Even though he kept the money
another stole from me
And I love him still
Though I did swear out a warrant
Ill visit him in jail
Betrayed again by one I love
I dont complain or harbour hurt
With selfless joy I served a rich man
And a poor man the same
Neither offered me money
Nor did I ask or expect any from them
Except that they would show
A promise of fruit
I worked, I did, with sweat and creativity
To produce a work of art
Others gave the credit to my friend
I let him have it
And was glad for the pleasure he received
Release your life and let it go
That you can give it freely away
So that you can freely give your all in all
To produce fruit in others lives
Not all lives will bear good fruit
But a few will
And the fulfillment will be expansively inexpressible
With peace as a free premium too It is the best bargin01/22/2004 Author's Note: it is a cruel illusion to think this can be done without the help of the living God, or that it is not worth attempting
