“Live to Give: Love”

One day I was told, “You get what you give.”

So today, that is how I want to live.

I give to live.

And live to give.

The Lord has blessed me with this power.

To bring joy, hour by hour.

I do it twenty-four seven;

Why, because I wish to see heaven.

My heart must be made of gold.

It isn’t getting cold.

I hug when I can.

I love not only man.

I love everyone I see.

Even birds that nest in my tree.

My love doesn’t just end there.

It’s spread here to there-everywhere.

Through a smile on my tired, wrinkled old face,

And the day seemed like a twenty-four-hour race.

Yet, I believe, “You get what you give.”

So, this is how I’ll always live.

I give to live.

And live to give.
