Are You a Giver
Do you consider yourself a giver or a taker
A genuine human being or a selfish faker
Don't help if you expect something in return
Do it cause you wish to, a valuable lesson to learn
All too many people in the world today
Have hidden agendas and don't mean what they say
Never sparing a thought for those in need
Brushing off those that are left to plead
But then someone kindhearted comes along
Restoring faith in mankind when you thought it all gone
Someone who helps without blinking an eye
Someone who is honest and doesn't lie
Someone who helps those in need
Reassuring them for help they needn't plead
Teaching and educating those wanting to learn
Providing opportunities so an income they can earn
Being an inspiration or role model if you may
Being supportive showing an alternate way
That is a giver as I would define
Someone that stands out in a line
Proving to all what they say is true
Unfortunately only found in a given few
