As earthly times wane
it is not so much of what
has been given but more
of what has and continues
to be for evermore received:-
It is written that in giving we receive
and that in serving we are served;
thus is and will always be in a life
dedicated to labors of love—
lived in waxing reciprocity:-
Indeed giving and receiving the word
is the blessing of a well-lived life;
even in life’s waning time
forever strive to be a word cistern
always overflowing with shared love:-
