Invest In Me

I once had an idea
Thought completely off the wall
Replacing the piggy bank

I would have myself a jar
And instead of silver coins
I would deposit tokens

Coded different colours
For every conscious effort
A bright visual reward

An investment in my health
Or maybe more in kindness
Or just any goal I’d set

Couple years since my first thought
Brainchild still sounds rather good
Time is ripe to implement

We often come up with bright ideas or resolutions, but somehow it's hard to fine the time and the will to implement them:) Regards // paul

A nice flowing verse, Line. Yes, there should always be a time to implement.
