Generosity
That makes the world go around.
Give and take, for heaven’s sake
It makes the world go around
Accents on actualities
That makes happiness abound.
On a limb, it is so thin
It could easily break
Saved by skyhooks up above
From a mysterious mistake.
Memories materialise
Mysteries take shape
Dreams come true out of the blue,
when there is give and take.
Gestures of generosity
fills my heart with joy
Comfort and contentment
The resources we employ.
Time stays still for no man
The daydreams turn into days,
time disappears before my eyes
Opportunity never stays.
Seize the day they often say
Inexorable events
From a fate hard to escape
To face the consequence.
And on there’s no stopping
Life is the leveller
Try to run can be fun
The mode of the endless traveller.
Absolute and inevitable
Each day that I awake
Life always feels much better
When there’s give and take.
