You Will Be Happy

Do you want things to grow?
Feed them.

And don’t charge when you feed them.
Just feed them.

Be the honest, smiling hand at the end of the dish
or spoon.

They will come back.
And they will grow.
And you will be happy.

Sow lots of seed.
More than could possibly grow.

Fill the earth with good things
Even if it’s just for a little while.

You will be happy.
You will be happy.

Open the floodgates.
Break the dams.
Set the captives free.

You will be happy.
You will be happy.
You will be happy.
