Banker

My father was a banker.

He had a wee bank.

I do not know how much money he actually had.

And now I am my disciples' banker.

When I count the money, I feel that I am not valued; when I don't count the money, I feel that I am negligent in my duty. God says to me that He won't blame me if I miscalculate the figures but He will mercilessly blame me if I miscalculate the number of my disciples' real needs.
