Gain and Loss
To gain a friend is to lose loneliness
To gain poverty is to lose many friends
It’s sad to see the edge of selfishness
To see the waves and tides and trends
But one who gives, gives love so simply
And one who goes, goes alone
Yet here you stand alone, but loved
Even if you stand and beg
For someone to throw an empty bone
