306. When
When I smile,    I make everything out of nothing.
When I love,
    I make everything out of nothing.
When I offer,
    I make everything out of nothing.
    But
When I hesitate to smile,
    I make nothing out of everything.
When I delay in loving,
    I make nothing out of everything.
When I calculate in my offering,
    I make nothing out of everything.
