Generous Emotions
If not be love, it be hatred;
Let me not feel.
If not be kindness, selfishness its name;
Let me not share.
If not be peace, havoc will I cause;
Let me not preach.
If not be joy, displeasure takes the throne;
Let me not spread.
If not be goodness, nothing will surpass my fair line;
Let me not perceive.
If not be genuineness, it be bias;
Let it not come out.
If not be sound advice, the ill one will glare;
Let me not concept.
If not be forgiveness, rebuke it would be;
Let me not give.
If not be pure, the stench of impurity;
Let me not desire.
If not be blessings, curses assuredly;
Let me not utter.
If not be best, worst would be my prayer;
Let me not wish.
If it be rejoicing, for the right intent be.
It’s all times I need a bountiful of generosity.
God, wholly instill in me the same.
