Givers

It’s better to give than to receive, Something my mom had taught. Trust is something to be earned And love just can’t be bought. To look a gift horse in the mouth Is like falling in a lion’s den. My mom had said so many things, But that was way back when. Do all these apply still today? I say they should, but many don’t. It’s not because they weren’t taught, Just, people are lazy and they won’t. It’s a shame, the many who fail to do The good deeds the world requires. They’re the ones who start the wars While we’re left to put out the fires. I say, take action, all of you folks That want to share all the good. Forget the others who travel alone, They’ll never do as they should. But, should you see a glimmer of hope Within one of those who are lost, Take the time to help in their growth And help them at any cost. It is you, my friends, who are beacons of light The givers, those who never receive. But, you will get all your due rewards And it’s all because you believe.
