Givers Show Them

The takers never live They have no idea The only way to truly experience joyful life is to give The givers show them But the takers think they are suckers Laughing at them behind their backs and in front of their faces Calling them names like losers, liberals, suckers, dupes. Not understanding The only way to fully live is to give to others To give your time, your talents, your gifts. The givers give until their bounty is gone Understanding the way to life is to give to others The takers sneer and jeer and live a half life or even less never understanding that to give is to live

Some love receiving, because they do not know the JOY of giving.
