IT'S NOT YOURS, IT WAS BORROWED.
<p>In a moment not so long now, </p><p>Just like a light that dares to leave as soon as it comes, </p><p>The Owner will come knocking, unapologetically, </p><p>Demanding the dear deed, reiterating: </p><p>“It’s not yours, for it was borrowed.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Many have lost track of time. </p><p>Some, in pursuit of another’s pace, forget they won’t have it forever. </p><p>Many accepted too soon, without much ado. </p><p>Many are consumed by the fear of voices that ring: </p><p>“It’s not yours, for it was borrowed.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Which state will you leave the borrowed axe? </p><p>Shattered? Useless for the next borrower? </p><p>Sunk deep in the deepest waters? </p><p>Lost, down in a forgotten cave? </p><p>Or buried deep in a deserted hole? </p><p>Remember: _it’s not yours, for it was borrowed._</p><p><br/></p><p>A good borrower uses it to plough in due season, </p><p>Counting the cost and forging on as time whistles by. </p><p>He knows he only has the axe for a little while, </p><p>Mindfully ploughing a great harvest in no time, </p><p>Before the Owner comes knocking, and alas;</p><p>“It’s not yours, for it was borrowed.”</p>
