We ask for so much Expectations are abounding Disappointments are going to come Everything cannot, will not be provided Complaints may be forthcoming Why can’t I when they can? Am I always the one to get gypped? Life just doesn’t seem to be fair But life is what you make it Giving to others is a good start It removes self-centeredness It fills one with a joyful heart Suddenly, after a while Your need for things vanishes It is just what you can give That holds value and significance Temptation is always present It is good to be aware Know what is going on Choose as though you care Thanksgiving is wonderful food It fills us up when we are grateful Nature gives us astonishing gifts So often more than a plateful So easy not to get lost in ourselves We learn the lesson of giving Then nothing else has much importance Just this joyful way of living Stanski March 1, 2020 ^
