We must take care of ourselves Before we can care for others The Samaritan took care of himself And showed us how to care for others He did not beat about the bush But stood up and did what he did We can learn from this man Who outperformed the Levite and Priest He was never worried about the cost But gave not until it hurt, but Gave until it felt good – this is without doubt A magnificent way of living He elevated himself without trying He just did without asking a lot of questions Everyone can learn by this example Not all will rise to the occasion Some will hide from the opportunity Too busy with activities affecting them The truth is not alternated by indifference We need to seek out and remedy this plague We have to avoid the determination of the left And point out the truth of life as it exists The poets and prophets of the past point out The fickleness of man as he seeks happiness It is a vague concept that only comes with giving And praising accomplishments of those before us They taught us the lessons of success No free lunches is what they would express We must take care of ourselves – the surge Is pathetic and does not deserve our blessing Stanski March 31, 2021 ^
