To Be Generous Without Greed

To be generous without greed is the commitment I'm making; satisfaction comes from rendering one happy, not repaying the deed! The quest for truth is for the bold to ensure, and certainly not too imprudent to follow; one must show persisting fortitude and allow patience not to wear out but to continue to strive until certainty is that solemn promise uttered sweetly contemplating a brighter sunrise! In all my envisioned glory, all I wished in care-free youth was the idyllic tranquility of landscapes broken by a running stream, skies radiating with light and magnificently dressed in blue; who wouldn't listen to the starlings serenading to their mates? See me observing aromatic roses gleaming with sunrise' dew, see me picking daisies for mom to make those hazel eyes gleam! To be generous without greed seem such unrealistic words spoken by a visionary mind awoken in mid-sleep by an echo of terror... to adapt a diverse creed and restore the faith violated by selfish Lords who kept all the gold and gave none to the vagrant beggar!
