Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

When You Give To Another

When you give to another
  you take the greater reward
Give whatever you can
  as much as you can afford

Seek opportunities for giving
  They're yours for the taking
You'll see what you've been missing
  On that, there's no mistaking

C. A. Burkett February 18, 2021 at 11:48 AM Nice thought. The pleasure of giving is not something everyone has figured out, but is almost like a food or a fuel that one needs once they do... keep writing! enjoying reading, C.A. Gershon Wolf February 18, 2021 at 5:25 PM Thanks for the insightful truth about giving. It becomes addictive, in the positive sense of that word. Thanks, C.A. :) gw

Caren Krutsinger February 17, 2021 at 6:39 PM Great advice. If everyone took it, looking for opportunities to give, it would reinvent the world. Gershon Wolf February 18, 2021 at 5:14 PM Thanks for the great comment, Caren. 'Reinventing the world,' sounds better to me every day. Cheers, Gershon

Lindsay Laurie February 17, 2021 at 2:52 PM Hello Gershon … the reward for giving is a smile and knowing the appreciation is greater than the gift - thanks again Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf February 17, 2021 at 5:56 PM That's right. The giver takes great pleasure in the giving. Thanks, Lindsay. :)

Alexis Y. February 17, 2021 at 2:42 PM Hi Gershon, I agree, it is so rewarding if you're able to give to someone in need. I enjoyed the read. Have a great day:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf February 17, 2021 at 5:55 PM The need leads to the deed, and then to the smile of love. Thanks, Alexis. :) gw

Robert L. Hinshaw February 17, 2021 at 2:27 PM Splendid, Gershon! St Paul, The Psalmist or Proverbs could not have expressed it better! Another "proverbial" adage from the Master of Adage! Bob Gershon Wolf February 17, 2021 at 5:54 PM You really do flatter me, Bob, and I -- just love it. More, more, more. ~ Tiny Ego

Tom Cunningham February 17, 2021 at 2:14 PM So true Gershon, its better to give than receive, it makes someone's day and gives you a great feeling of satisfaction. Tom Gershon Wolf February 17, 2021 at 5:53 PM The more you give, the more you get, I always say. Thanks, Tom. :) gw
