The Ration In Consideration Poem by Bud Taylor

Ration your seconds harvest your days
treasure your hours master your nights
talent your minutes energize hives of three
want learning the bittersweet victory

Ration your perspiration invest your mind save your dimes
harness your energy construct a dream from the wings of a bee
metre your shortfalls reef your sails to blustery blue sky
set a course by way of the stars wherever you fly

Ration the inner skeptic Neptune the practical peptic
sow trust and love even in the snow while cold winds blow
reap a Bounty Captain Bligh can't toast
live in abundance whatever you post

Ration your bastion saving for a rainy day fashion bestowed
give meanness the toe new life aglow
keen to be redeemed living a daring dreamt scheme
deliver the good news in green sea beams
consider the ration in consideration speak to uplifting libations at noon
