You promised your everything
And I promised mine. Then when
A storm came we fell to the ground
Like stalks of corn will do. Afraid
Of losing face we stayed there
Until later when we were found.
Then we had true understanding
As we meditated, each alone.
We understood that foolishness
Is for the immature and takes you
Nowhere. We vowed to reform
And take life as it comes, whether
Good or bad. We would face life
As it whirls by and stand up for
Each other and truly love one another.
When we reviewed our behavior
We realized that we were completely
Off base. We had everything we
needed to be happy but wanted more.
We found that many have nothing
And make the most of it. We decided to
Dedicate ourselves to helping others.
Joy filled our hearts and has made
All the difference.
