Bones often wonders
why he never gets
anything for nothing.  

No one’s ever given him
anything for free.  

The perks every one else gets
for nothing,
Bones has to work his tail off
to get.  

Bones decides that’s
just the way it is.  

Most people appear to be takers,
while Bones knows he’s a giver.

Hi Bobby, Bones will receive much more

satisfaction in giving than receiving.

Dear sweet Bobby,

How I've missed reading the stories of Bones. If I could, I'd give Bones for free a happiness tree.

Goddess grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thanks Lindsay,

Yes indeed, you're correct.  Bones has gotten a lot of satisfaction just by living his life the way he has.

Bones may be a giver but if it is for an appropriate reason I`m sure that he will be rewarded at some period in time.

Thanks Earl,

Bones says thanks for the good wishes, however, he also says he's not holding his breath.

Take only that which is earned, for only then is it truly yours. Otherwise, it is only theft or false possession. Bones may be a giver, but I'm sure he only offers true substance to those who earn his trust.

Thanks Andrew,

What you say may be true, however, Bones would like someone to cut him a break sometime.
