The Reaper
What you send out far, far into the Universe
Will return in the same wrapping you had used.
Why you opened your heart and perhaps purse
When you needn’t have, is what you’ve accrued.
Forget not that charity is an act that receives more
Than it gives; and kindness is wealth incalculable.
Your generous heart might be forbidden to soar,
But a selfless soul is a true treasure invaluable.
Hope can be a rose without thorns, with a scent divine.
Words can become pearls of love that offer solace.
Sow handfuls of altruistic acts with the cosmos to align.
Be a river that flows unhindered, spreading infinite bliss.
The reaper fills his basket with a harvest of loss or gain:
Would you rather have joy, or would you prefer pain?
