I promised her the hills and sky,

I promised her all this —

But one small word of truth means more

Than worlds of

Hollowness

No Badge

There is no badge for caring,
No prize for making time;
There’s no gold rings adorn the hands
That help us with the climb

There is no medal given
To him who love’s work braves:
For good deeds die a natural death,
And sleep in unmarked

Graves

If you act like you’re poor

When you’re not

Then you never will be

Poor

Or happy

In every land and time we know:

That there’ll be rich and poor,

That freedom and security
Will always be at war,

That people will be good and bad,

That they’ll be false and true,

That kids will break their parents’ hearts,

And have theirs broken, too

No Talent for Certainty
