Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Helping Hands

By nature, we are takers
  Giving goes against our grain
Yet if we stop to think about it
  The truth is very plain

God gives us hands to help
  A head and heart to care
He also gives us what we need
  So that with others we will share

The more we give, the more we get
  Sure God will increase our means
To feed and clothe all those in need
  ~ Best done behind the scenes

Caren Krutsinger September 24, 2020 at 8:11 AM I hate to admit it but even though it was irritating to hear the beginning of this poem and I wanted to say "not me" I realized it is me also. Gershon Wolf September 24, 2020 at 2:39 PM Yeah, it's all of us. We start out take, take, taking from our Mothers. We have to learn how to give... Really doesn't come naturally --- except for a chosen few. :) gw
