Give and Take
I was no different than anyone else. Not really unique;
in that I was made, in part, from pieces of others I’ve known,
friends and family mostly. Those still here,
and welcome spirits who seem content to stay.
Also, there were a few women I loved at one time or another.
Although, some of them took a few pieces with them.

Hi Michael.
Hi Michael.
Short and sweet and to the point. I especially enjoyed the last line, as some of them damn sure took a few pieces with them.
Thanks for sharing. - Will
