Giving's being charitable; Giving openhanded; Generous and benevolent; Just and generous; Bountiful, mean; Giving's That's just; What bout' us That what is gleaned; Giving moment in times; Whining up clocks on walls of turpentine; Giving's all that you have, having all that you give; Giving's coats and a rag, what a life to live; So you hold your feet up, drinking from the cup, you sup. . . Giving you throw down hands down; Giving's Cadillac mousses shavings off; Honda Civic dreams you know what I mean; And I want to give my life; Life worth living, giving to my, give up my life to Jesus Christ; Giving's nails upon the walls; Virtual reality duck calls; Giving now I eat my ice cream and cake; With a full tooth garden rake; WRITTEN BY JAMES EDWARD LEE SR. 02/24/14 All of this for mankind's sake GIVING

Hi James, God's gifts are bountiful and we have to learn to be more charitable toward each other. I love this deep powerful piece with an inspirational message for humankind that is beautifully effective without being preachy. Love the imagery, flow, and shape (like the tree of life that just keeps on giving) and enjoyed the read! Hugs. Pandita

I appreciate the like, didn't realize the picture effect tho! Now that you look at it!! We need to give the most and the least of what we have sometimes giving just a prayer, ones time, a hug, Christian love, fellowship, a glass of water is MORE valuable than Filthy Lucre?? "Give what you got, you Got something to Give" just made that up. . .Blessing Again thanks James :D
