Just Enough
. for public domain
I would like to sit with Socrates,
discuss a life well drawn,
so I may leave a portrait behind,
for friends to look upon.
Or maybe walk a while with Christ,
soak in his talk of love,
so he might accept me as a friend,
and welcome me above.
But only the words they left behind
to guide me on my way,
must be just enough, simple and frugal,
to get me through each day.
