In Life You Get What You Give Poem by Frank Sheehan

It's a maxim for the ages
realities of ebb and flow
unwritten foundation of societies

picturesque teaching of divinities
a divulging of actuality
that takes lifetimes to master

it comes full circle
these Karmic consequences
from the way you

lead your life, carry yourself
when confronted with all the
different circumstances that encompass

your daily sphere, circle.
You must be aware of this
to avoid disastrous episodes

while walking the tightrope
of your everyday truth
realizing you must travel

conscientiously with purpose
having an eye towards
your every action.
