you will hurt if you have too much of me.

you will hurt if you have too little of me.

you depend on me, but throw me around

as if i am nothing.

take care of me, please.

press me before bed. count me in the morning.

keep me in a safe place and if i get harmed,

doctor my wounds.

don't fight over me, but hand me away

gently to someone who not only wants me,

but needs me.

yours truly,

the one dollar bill
