''Still Keeping Score?''
not long ago
I kept a mental list
Of all I spent
and all I got
so nothing would be missed
Who paid for what?
how much is mine?
make sure it evens out
In time I learned
the tally's not
what this is all about
While keeping score
I missed the things
no ledger can record
Like love and trust
and friendly hearts
that can't be saved or stored
So now I give
straight from the heart
no invoice, notes or pad
And find this life
and times with friends
the best I've ever had!
COMMENTARY:
The more you love, the more you give
the less you will keep score
The more you give, the more you get
you'll never end up poor!
Note: The first few Walt's Friday Inspiration emails included quotes from various authors and personalities. It wasn't until episode 19 that I tried my hand at writing the rhyme-based inspirational messages myself. The rest, as they, is history...
