For my 1st post, I want to give you something. It's a poem called My Wage written by Jessie B. Rittenhouse. Through it, I desire to leave you with words that will dramatically change your life for the better.
My Wage
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
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.
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.
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
