The Gift of Time

I don’t have lots of money, So I can’t make big donations, I don’t have lots of languages, To give to other nations. I don’t have big ambitions, That I want to give away, I don’t have strong opinions, For other folk to sway. I don’t have skills at cookery, To give in recipes, I don’t give out instructions, Cos I always do say please. But what I’ve gots more precious, That’s the theme here of my rhyme, For those who need to talk things through, What I can give’s my time. I will not be judgemental, I won’t tell you what to do, But if you need a sounding board, Then I’m your avenue. I’ll listen, won’t be silent, But the actions chosen, yours, A giver of some precious time, Cos you’re a worthy cause! Givers Contest Sponsor Regina McIntosh 22 September 2020
