Did you seek the best for someone
(other than yourself),
my dear companion
Were you driven to the brink
of change?
At the zenith of your dabbling,
was the product worth the effort
of your raw endeavor(-ing)
Will regret run you
ragged
When you peer down the road?
Will your bones find rest
or be spurred to
merciless action?
