give and take

Do not be so greedy

As to try

And steal away

With what you have been given

As it goes

You must return

Because you can only carry

So much on your back

By your going

Do not burn the bridge

No matter how much you take

And think to yourself

I will never have to return

I have this much

But you will

Such is life

This give and take

That to participate

Most fully

One would be best off

Giving away

What they have taken

To return

And tell the giver

When asked

What you did

With all

That you were given

And say

I gave it away

And then the giver will smile

And give you that much more
