A Lifetime Gained

Why not?

                A cup.  A talk.

                                Lose an hour?

                                Or

                                Gain an evening?

Why not?

                A drive. A drink.

                                Lose trust?

                                Or

                                Gain trust?

Why not?

                A conversation. A nod.

                                Lose face?

                                Or

                                Gain a smile?

Why not?

                A cup.  A talk.

                                Nothing lost?

                                Or

                                A Lifetime Gained?
