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 September 23, 2020 Givers Poetry Contest Sponsor: Regina McIntosh

Hello Gershon … humanity appears to be deserting everything it needs, especially compassion. Greed will be the undoing - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

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.

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
