Thief

A man broke into my apartment while I was home and stole a few of my belongings...

The man who robs me,
Need only give back what he takes;
Unless his need
Is greater than mine;
Then I am not the victim;
Nor will I choose to be
The keeper of his time.

What he learns will be
The pocket change
Of his life - helping
Along the narrow mile
To a wider road.
His belongings - once mine;
Shall be the witness
To a freer state of mind.
