MY WAGE

By J. B. Rittenhouse

 

I bargained with Life for a penny,

And Life would pay no more,

However I begged at evening

When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,

He gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menials hire,

Only to learn, dismayed,

That any wage I had asked of Life,

Life would have willingly paid.

 

Life is a question and how we live it is our answer.

How we phrase the questions we ask ourselves determines the answers

that eventually become our life.
