give as good as you get
be generous with your gifts
they helped you in the past 
surely they're still on the job
you never know
how great the goal
until the end you behold
so be generous and controlled


give as good as you get
don't be a miser at a pit
smile and offer with both hands
then follow up
you can
your thanks will come tenfold
the others read the poll
you joined the givers of old
they all were just as bold

Sometimes, just the gift of a smile to a stranger does wonders for that person. Points well-made, Thomasena. Love and best wishes,

I always try to live like you describe here. Life is so much more fulfilling if we give without expecting something back.

Such wonderful thoughts. We all have been given a great deal, especially those of us who consider ourselves successful. Time to give back and help future generations.

I hate pledging because it gives an opportunity for someone to feel good about stating that they will "give" and then later forget about or actually be unable to give what they pledged. And giving doesn't have to mean money. Like your poem suggests, your time and your compassion are far more valuable.

This is a poem which should be read each day as we drink our first cup of java. It says so very much. Even those of us who do not have much can still give someone who could use it . . . a smile.
