*today a friend
reminded me,
a quote by
Elbert Hubbard,
"love grows by giving.
the love we give away
is the only love we keep.
the only way to retain love
is to give it away."*
indeed,
so let it be
write the inscription
let my epitaph read,
**"lived fully...
gave plenty
loved gently
died empty."**
~
*and let the post script read...
"yes, his whisky ran dry
as he lived so he died."*
