sometimes
it isn’t what’s taken
or what is done
sometimes
it’s when you give

give, and keep on giving
asking nothing
receiving nothing
knowing nothing
except that you must give

give, and keep on giving
until it feels like
there’s nothing left
but look inside and find
you have more to give

give, and keep on giving
silently finding joy
because you can give
silently hurting
because you must give

give, and keep on giving

You captured perfectly well the feelings that GIVING can produce ...
If we could give always with love, that would be ideal and the stream of love never finishes.
Beautiful.

I know this person who feels both joy and pain from the giving efforts.  Interesting post, very well written.

Your vision conjures something while your words conjured something else.

One is romantic in the vision, the other is extremely practical

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art
