Society of Givers
Enabled by God, the Author and Exemplar of giving
they exercise granting deeds of generous thriving…
With sincere gratitude, we commend them midst bliss:
foremost are parents showering unconditional love from hearts abyss…
brother and sisters, great siblings for their support
as well as cheering friends who show caring escort…
teachers, mentors, counselors in their constant reaching-out
ministering, imparting truth and wisdom without doubt…
neighbors, colleagues, fellows presenting worthy community involvements
along peace and order sentinels toward good progress engagements…
pets like our cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, hamsters as relievers of stress
not forgetting our gardens with plants and flowers, pacifying distress…
hobbies against rigorous schedule, bestowing sweet pleasure
work, job, task and chores, upholding or adding to financial treasure…
nature, environment, parks, home of refuge serving as security-haven
sanctuary or worship places that bring our souls nigh to heaven…
how about trials and sufferings that develop virtuous attitude
sustaining will-power, enhancing prayerfulness’ fortitude…
numerous can still be added since we are always blest
with givers*, (including ourselves) that unselfishly, contribute the best.
List in couplet form
*2Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
