Make the Most of the Least

Making the best of what we have
Making what we have the best
Besting another never made sense
to me
How can one grow in the compost
of another's misery
Make what you have yours

Share
it
if
you
care
for
it
Give
it
if
you
can
live
it
Take
it away
only if the
stakes
you are prepared to
pay

Is it worth the giving
if the grieving
out weighs
the gifting

If it hurts so much to
love someone
else easy
If it feels like a
curse
The message is clear
You gotta love
you first

To make the best of the love
you got
There is one truth that you
forgot
In order to give it
You gotta live it
In your own heart
Before a counterpart
Will walk beside
Matching the cadence of your
stride
Make the most of the least
of your pride
Let your fears commit
suicide

Making the best of what we have
Making what we have the best
Besting another never made sense
to me
How can one grow in the compost
of another's misery
Make the love you have be yours......
