Living To Give


Life would not be such a mystery
If we gleaned from yesterday's success.

If we learned from our failures in history,
We would appreciate how much we are blessed.

If we would complain less
And give to others our very best,
And into their lives plant seeds,
Offering more than we have received;
Ours would be a life that lives to give.
