Keeping SCORE
its a Delicate and  very particular fine line  and  ART  I know for SURE


As when with others, you have to keep an even KEEL
otherwise they will feel used at the end of the DEAL


So a person who is WISE
they pay forward and stay ahead, so, there is no Drama or SURPRISE


So always have to make amends and keep SCORE
and never take anything  for granted, and pay ahead a little more, so your peace  and happiness will ENDURE


So, when I was a young Marine I had no CAR
and had an appointment at the Hospital on base but it was a Walk too FAR


So I asked another friend
if I could use his car back and forth to the Appointment and  his car for an hour or so--LEND


He said no problem it's only a twenty mile round --TRIP
so that was cool I went to appointment and back
filled up his car with GAS and still gave him a TWENTY--Dollar--TIP


So he was very  very very shocked and   HAPPY
and he would always come to me and say, 
hey Jungers do ya want to use my car
cause he knew I wouldn't use it for-- Free --and -- another --TWENTY-Dollar
generous --TIP--he would get ---HAPPILY--Free---from--ME


So wherever that I AM
keeping the score ahead in my favor I'm always being sure that I DO
the very  very very BEST that I CAN


So as I know Im always a little AHEAD
i know no  problems or any Drama will I be surprised by or--

Keeping score
is something that my DAD always did  so well
in Minnesota after a Blizzard he would shovel the snow of each,  neighbor next to us so Swell


Keeping Score
my Grand Ma, had five apple trees, and made
home made apple, sauce  for the  whole church and neighbors, 
And they loved her more and MORE


Keeping score my MOM would crotchet, baby blankets for anyone at random she would, meet and greet even in Grocery store
and she would bring them a baby blanket once the baby was born, and folks, loved my mothers Heart more and more


Always keep score
do for others just a little bit extra with a loving kind Hearted Generous
TOUCH, as folks will appreciate it for SURE
