Lots More

There’s always more—
more words,
more actions,
more rhymes,
more promises,
more life
and more death.

I come to each day
with more on my mind.
I’m offered more
and almost always accept it.

I do have needs,
so I take a little,
and then take a bit more,
for later,
or for that perceived time
when the taking
won’t be so good.

I’d rather be remembered
by what I’ve given,
and therefore I’m making plans
to give back lots more.

In the meantime,
I’d like to be forgiven
for being self-serving.
I’m slowly becoming
a better giver.
