Givers Gain

To give is to gain in the eyes of the mind of a soul that is honest and loving and kind. It's fair to expect that you get what you give as your life is a measure of morals you live. What do we gain when were willing to give? What force feeds the soul in our willing to live? When given the chance of a lifetime to choose, our hope is the treasure our hearts cannot lose. Like a torch we pass down to each, one by one. To mothers as daughters and fathers as sons, a hope burning brightly, a steady flame fast, the strength of our future through hope from our past. We pass on these ways without saying a word as actions speak louder and clearly are heard. The examples are set by the actions we choose, without even thinking of what we could lose What is the worth in the willing to give? What is the point of our purpose to live? We give with the hope of a better tomorrow. To give up our hope were are certain for sorrow What is the cost when we won't even try? To give up our hope and eventually die? We break the connections that keep us in sync, a game of survival that's lived on the brink. All things find death in the journey of life. Hope is the light through the darkness of strife. We give and we gain, give up and we lose. What we will give shapes the world that we choose. - Jeannie Minor
