Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Give and Take

In the land of milk and honey
from the givers some proudly take
Not needing what they want
only concerned with filling their plate

The givers needs are few
always happy with what they have
They’re generous and truly care
investing in takers then given a bath

Givers are not interested
with anything that they can take
They want to give what little they have
and share with all their slice of cake

Blessed are those who give
they have God’s love within their heart
They will always help the takers
even when it rips their world apart
