The Giving Tree

Folder: 
Society

We need roots~

a foundation of faith

on which to stand firm.



We also need branches

to reach across

to those needier than we.



We need to bend down,

give when we are blessed

with more than enough.



We cannot hoard in

our trunks that which we

are so graciously rewarded.



If we do, it will be

taken from us and given

to someone more deserving.



No, we must branch out into

our society, sharing our riches~

material and spiritual.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: “Like a tree laden with ripe fruits bends naturally, so do gentle people display all the more humility when blessed with abundance.”
