The Bill

The bill I’ll shift my mood, I’ll do it fast The hurt, I’ll feel it later I’ll put the pain of others first For now I’ll be their waiter A kiss, a hug, a smile, a nod I’ll give it all, I’m strong A listening ear, a gentle touch I’ll show them they belong No tears from me, I’ll keep it dry I shouldn’t, no, not now I know I need a break myself I want to, yes, but how? For now I’ll just tend to the needs Of everyone for free The costs are rising, pretty soon The bill will be sent to me. Wendy Nipas
