A Squirrel and his Nuts

What does it mean when a squirrel brings you his nuts An act so selfish yet rewarding an image to always reflect upon So I picked up his nuts and I gave them a good looky-see they were gorgeous I thanked the squirrel ‘Thank you for your nuts’ and I wondered what to give him in return All I have is my love for you from my heart deep down inside The squirrel was disheartened and left promptly with his nuts

Dear robert, this made me laugh at first and then i thought deep, as i always tend to do that about poems, and i felt like it is the same in this world, so many give expecting something in return, but if only they gave wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return would be nice, which is one reason i always feel uncomfortable accepting gifts from people especially nuts lol! Squirrel tho surely tried giving you nuts, maybe you should keep some nuts at home to give them too! Fun read! Sending you light always
