Investing

Folder: 
Love

Why does the miner mine away in dark and dusty holes?

Toiling deep in dirty earth - slowly growing old?

Investing time and sweat and life?

Sacrifice and pain and strife?

It's all for gold

That shining ray!

That thing which carries weight and sway!

It'll keep him safe!

It'll keep him warm!

(Granted though, not in that form)

He has invested through his past...

To make his happy future last!

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Every relationship is an investment. Romantic, casual, and business alike. Not always, but sometimes, the more you put in the more you get out.

Mole

Your musings inspired me....

 

 

Digging, digging, digging

For his future home

Not of timber and glass

But of dirt and stone

 

Worms are landlords

Asking for rent

Demanding payment

Time has spent
