unwilling generosity, by Jonathan Tsirlin

 unwilling generosity

 
part of you never ends
hero recognized by a few
needed by everyone
the invisibility of necessity
             something astonishing
an apple tree that can’t stop giving
surreptitious threshold met after life
praised by many yet known by few
an elixir to plague
mother to men and women
surrounding life for the dying need
