024 I bargained with Life for a penny [Poem]

Dec 18, 2019

Are your dreams big enough? 

 

I bargained with Life for a penny,
 

And Life would pay no more,


However I begged at evening when


I counted my scanty store.

 

For Life is a just employer,


He gives you what you ask,


But once you have set the wages,


Why you must bear the task.

 

I worked for a menial’s hire,


Only to learn dismayed,


That any wage I had asked of Life,


Life would have willingly paid.

 

The lesson: dream big. Know what you want and ask for it. Let your actions support your ambitions and become more than you are.
