Recieved in times
Needed the most
Weighing scale tilted
Balance against your favour
Help and Sympathy
When didn't deserve any
Came your way
By people who
Cared for you
Digging holes and slipping in the wet sand
Time and again
Warned before hand
Took life for granted
Granted it was
Instead of being
Six feet under
They dug deeper
To life you from below
Their life was in flow
You the debris
Halting and clogged it slow
Two way street
Time to treat
And return the favor
Not to them
But to Any other
Be charitable in forgiving
Be magnanimous in giving
Ready to sink
Stop the other from drowning
Repeated offence more grace the essence
Were at the recipient at the podium
Time to stand down
And next victim passes by
Do to them
What was done to you
The greatest gift was given
When no one recalled any event
Impressed upon you
It was forgotten
Or you'd die of embarrassment
Charity in giving
Memory in lacking
World presented to you
When you wanted to start life again
Easiest thing is to copy
Simply follow the duty
Forget it after not before
Give it before not after
