What do you want of life?

“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”

And that’s worth thinking about.

Yes. Totally. Thank you! So I'm asking for everything I ever dreamt. For life will give me what I ask. :)))
