This Moment On
Do Things Differently

We all ask for a wage for every good job we do in our lives. What is your wage?

Let's hear what Jessie B. Rittenhouse has to say about this:

 My Wage

I bargained with life for a penny,

And life would pay no more,

However, I begged at evening,

When I counted my scanted score.

For life is a just employer,

Who gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, then you must bear the task.

I worked with a menial's hire,

Only to learn, dismayed,

That any wage that I had asked of life,

Life would have willingly paid.
