SELFLESS


The time has come and my wish

must be made.

 

I know what I seek must be paid in full,

so I will accept.

 

If I can't pay my debt, then it will

forever be a theft.

 

I shall reap what I owe in full.

 

With all this pleading for a wish.

I am nothing but a greedy fool.

 

I want to hear, but have

no fear. 

 

Your heart  is a part of that wish.

So shall I grant it!
