The art of giving to another…
while expecting nothing in return.

An Act Of Generosity

A sincere act of generosity:
No media mileage
No publicity
If your right hand
Would dole out
Something for the needy
Let not your left hand
Know it.

and pride is taking less than you need.

is a soul of generosity
that also embodies compassion
using its miraculous power
to scatter all storm clouds
so the unfortunate can see the sun again
