DOING GOOD
   

“Tired am I”, 
You told me the other day my friend, 
“for many good deeds have I been doing for so long 
but 
recognition for my contribution haven’t I received 
any, why?”

Here is my reply to you, gentle friend of mine
Written with the tenderness your kind heart has come
So well to know,

Tell me:

Does the sun care to be appreciated for the affection it
Embraces the earth
Or 
For the caresses its rays so abundantly dispense to 
Each mountaintop? 

Does the cloud request a reward for the load it carries   
In its bosom       
Or
For the drops of rain that so kindly bestows onto the 
Arid ground? 

Does the earth seek payment from the seed when into
Its soil planted
Or 
For the fruits the trees so bigheartedly distribute, rebellious 
Stomachs to appease?  

Does the bee demand compensated to be for pollinating
The flowers
Or
For producing its divine honey that even the immortals so
Much enjoy?

Does the wind ever insist on any fee when through the 
Leaves whispers 
Or
For when the murmur of brooks and the melody of singing
Birds transmitting?

Shouldn’t we, my loving friend, inspired by nature’s unselfish 
Examples be
And 
Share our soul’s wealth, expecting nothing in return, from our
Fellow humans?

And finally

Is there anything we could ever think, nobler and holier to be, than
Lord’s will, we to be doing?
