Praise Me not

[Guest guest]

Praise me not,

for it is sweet poison

to this vain old fool,

and heals that which

must be broken ere

I can enter where I will.

If in this poor verse

some value you find,

pay instead, in the coin

of loving kindness

to others,

and it will find it's way

unerring to my begging bowl,

a thousand times increased.

 

Seek me not,

for as you pay my price

our hearts are as one

even unto the

end of time.
