TAKERS AND GIVERS
There are takers and there are givers
some give love some give shivers
some spread warmth like summer light
some cast chills as winter’s night.
In this world of give and take
we choose the paths we want to make:
to heal or harm to build or break
to lift up hearts or make them ache.
So be a giver not a taker
live with honor not as faker
for in giving love will grow
and hearts will bloom before you know.
Let kindness be the path you tread
with every word let love be spread
caring lifts the spirit high
and soothes each heart that pains and cries.
Seek to sow with gentle hands
the seeds of love that ease all pangs
for in this dance of life you’ll find
the joy of giving frees the mind.
