therefore, we pour

i was not given a cup to preserve;
i was tasked with draining a well.

if it runs dry, 
let it be.

it has reached the thirsty.

by His grace, may it replenish.

tomorrow is not promised;
therefore, we pour.

I think this is very thoughtworthy E.K. It made me think of how am I a benefit to other people. I help others frequently and don't even think about it. It just seems natural. - Chris
