At the end of your pot of gold ✏️ 🎤 🎵

A quatrain ahead of Mother’s Day:
Thoughtfulness requires thought.
It’s not a thing that can be brought.
So quit your feeling all distraught
And take a sec to think.

May you enjoy it
Even though I know you don’t enjoy it ✏️ 🎤 🎵
Buildings have walls
Only by necessity ✏️ 🎤 🎵

I do what I can
I can what I do ✏️ 🎤 🎵

One step closer to nowhere ✏️ 🎤 🎵
Surely, Psalm twenty and three shall follow me all the days of my life. ✏️ 🎤 🎵
