Tis’, the night before Christmas and I look back over my year
Man have I given a whole lot of Sh.., stuff away this year
Bed sets, kitchen gadgets and books on many subjects, all went to others
I have nothing left in the attic or cellar J
The cloths that I gave filled my brother truck
I’ve donated money to support our scared lands
Given food and blackest to homeless people
In my world I gave given even more then Oprah Winfrey has
And then I get quiet and start to giggle
Vision of teachers begin dancing in my head
Berience, who teaches all her students to pay it forward
Denise, sings like a song bird that radiates to each heart
Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha’, who lives her life sharing with others
Giving away stuff that others could use has always given me joy
But, the gifts that are given that cause growth to my soul are the ones that gave me a gift words untold.
Being with children and holing their hand, smiling at a stranger who nods with delight,
or just being quiet and listening when other talks.
As I settle down in my most natural state, and begin my sleep the peace that I feel comes from being of serves to all to every being
It’s not what I gave it’s what I got from others that is the magic of giving
Ant’ that great!!!
