Giving All For All

Giving to all to receive all
An act done by all
All are keen to receive
But forget to give to all
At all times I wonder
Who is to give to all
For all to receive
All I need is a gift
Then my gift I give to all
I have nothing for all
All think I am wicked
At most I give my all
And find out all dispise
Not for giving all
But for giving at all
My all is not good enough
Though I try to give all
Can I give all, I ask
All think so
Though all would not want
All I give 
I give all, to all for all
Though not God of all
Advice to all
Give your all both in pain and joy
For your all is what I need
To persist in giving to all
For if you stop and I stop
We stop giving all
And would never receive from all
So give all for all
