Half is Better than Zero



There are ones and there are tens

And as we go thru life, it depends

Not so much on how big the number

But on whether we're willing to crumble



The sum total of the complete digit

Into its composite parts, and thus visit

The crumbs to assess their unique value

And address the encompassing beauty too



There are many individual assets we possess

Some might be time and proximity which bless

- Us with a value system which makes it easy to assess

The component parts, and thus sort out all of the mess



All it takes is a willingness to resolve all matters

And this takes commitment to communicate that's

Well intended, pure and true ... and if we do this 

There is no telling how much better our bliss



All we need do is reach out and call ...

And touch the mind who made us fall

If we can do this and swallow our pride

We'll feel so much better deep down inside
