please give

A given human life, 
if you could take one 
in your course and lift 
it up by facet flash to see
the glimmer gloaming 
depth of it, 

There's nothing greater you 
could give 
or pick 
or find 
so fit 
to miss 

A given human life, 
if you could just give 
it a twist. 
Your eye and mind behind, 
and heart still beaten -
so beat down beneath
- could see the hole 

and find the key 

to so much sum  
or part of it 

It's worth a look. 
For what you see 
is perfect gift 
no matter wrong 
no matter bad 
the cost is right. 

Because it's free. 
And if we fight, 
still gratitude 
and mercy, we 
should find within
and for and in all 
we could never have
unless.
For all we find we
didn't have 

to give. 

Perhaps 
it's best?
