I Just Give

I think one of my strengths is I can just give,
I really don’t think ,it’s the way  that I live.
I don’t require thanks or anything in return,
Giving brings happiness, that’s what I yearn.

Many times I  do things that people don’t understand.
Sometimes it makes me wonder just who I am.
Following your heart always comes with a price.
Some of the responses are not really nice.

I would change my ways if I only could.
I just think it is something that’s good.
Today something happened that makes me sad,
When you give of your heart you shouldn’t feel bad.

I think to myself what is the lesson to learn.
The pathway is closed and the bridges burn.
I just have to try and let it all go
Maybe tomorrow the sun shall show.
