Generosity

Some say the givers lot in life is

Often one of sad submission;

Always give, never take can

Make a lonely wayward waif.

 

Whether friend or foe or stranger

Reaching out with optimism,

Giving time or toil or riches,

Anything to keep them safe.

 

But givers have a secret motive

Takers never realize,

One that leads to vast rewards

That can’t be cyphered by their size.

 

Every gift the giver makes

From bold benevolence and grace

Leaves beads of bounty in its wake

Enfolded in a warm embrace.

 

The truth of generosity is

Written in the wind.

The more we give

The more we live

To reap its golden dividend.
