Gift of the Gifted

For every person in need, Exists another bathing in greed. There is always enough to go around, Why does poverty knowingly abound? Ask about gifts no strings attached, The giver will reminisce of joy unmatched. The gifting action gives one pleasure, Often returned in infinite measure. While some exist to extoll and deceive, Those in true need should not believe, Asking for help is a sign of weakness, Piercing the gift of humility and meekness. In a perfect world, need would not exist, This world is choked with opportunity missed. The ability to give, is plagued with doubt. While the propensity to ask singles out. Judgement should be reserved for the gifted, Givers should not bear this burden shifted. Give as much and as often as can be beared, All that has been given is meant to be shared.

Michael: If you hear a tone of laughter, it's because I came to your site to thank you for the wonderfully supportive comment you left for Khalid about "retitling". That is a good suggestion for all of us. Thank you for sharing it. My laughter is because of the work of yours I was drawn to. All about gifts and giving and you gave. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

That is a neat coincidence. It is tragic, but titles arouse curiosity. He has done some good work. With a few more hits hopefully he can get a little glory.

Thank you Maureen. To ask for help is giving a gift to those that can give.
