Don’t be like those who ask for everything: <br />praise, a blurb, a free ride in my rented <br />limousine. They ask for everything but never offer <br />anything in return. <br />Be like those who can see that my feet ache <br />from across a crowded room <br />that a foot rub <br />if I’m agreeable <br />never mind the staring <br />is the best way to smile <br />& say hello <br />to me.<br /><br />Alice Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-be-like-those-who-ask-for-everything/
