Giving Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

It can never happen that way he said
Can man give what he does not have? He queried
Silence reigned all over
He continued,
What you have is what you give
What you give is a reflection of you
It will always be a part of you
I nodded.
Of course of this I was told
Then it must have been unconsciously
Am happy, my spirit could get it even without my permission
What a man gives is what he has
And what one has shall be given to him
For it is written
Give and it will come back to you…
So be careful what you give!
He warned.
You may end up getting what you never intended to give
Funny, Huh!
Give the best so you can get the same
Humble yourself where possible
if that is what it takes for you to give the best
Step number one, he continued
Know what you have then
Know its destination then
Know the best medium then
Give out freely with this in mind, that
Freely you received, freely give
Discover the joys of giving your very best freely
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Virtues all around us, giving may be one
Success all around us, giving is at its core
I shall be satisfied for life
Because for once I know the secret
When you want to give first know your stuff
Because whatever you give
Shall surely come back to you
Because you reap what you sow
He concluded.

Giving and gratitude ..

I love this poem!!! It speaks so directly of the first most important thing 'GIving' When one gives the rain seems to fall and when one givers freely it seems the rain is full of colors, and whe one continues to give unconditionally it seems that there is an abundance of sun, rain, colors, fruit, and especially love for everyone. And when one continues to share these gifts freely, unconditionally, and with gratitude, there is peace on earth. I thank you
