In giving lies a great pleasure and the reciprocation gives us intense happiness!


Give and take-A pleasure!

We find around the universe
It is common and none averse
To the lovely habit of give and take!
Whenever we accept some gift
Inside our mind we get a lift
In happiness and feel fine!
We record in memory our
Gratefulness for the favor!

When the day comes opportune
To reciprocate we never miss, sure!
There are people selfish
Always wait to gain, and fish
When others are flooded with fortune!
But when it is their turn
Under some pretext, their backs turn!
Parasites they are and live to burn!

There is sweetness and grace
To give and live for others!
Every living creature, big or small,
And every creation of God
Is earmarked for mutual sharing
And help each other and caring
The will of God to live in
Universal brotherhood and be happy!

Beautiful. There are very few glitches, but I am sure it is accent related. I do that myself. One word I say is said a different way elsewhere so what rhymes to me phonetically does not for others. It happens, so do not worry. Great poem.
