to love is to give

to love is to give
and to give is to love

i love the satisfactory warmth my
heart feels when i give to others
my best friend would laugh and tell you
this:
"everytime i go to her house, she tries to give me all of her things"
she thinks im recycling junk i collect
 but what she doesn't see is, im really recycling things that i love(d)

i want you to feel the same joy i felt when it was mine 
so here, take it
love it, cherish it
then pass it on to the world around you
and when it has met its last
trash it

& i just made myself giggle
: )

giving is a beautiful trait to possess
but sometimes i think we get caught up in the act of
our good deeds
we want the world to admire what we just did for someone else
almost like the worlds' pat on the back is the reward
we shouldn't expect to be overwhelmed with confetti of many colors
or be given a medallion for our charity to mankind
because i believe the warmth we feel in our hearts is more grander than any reward
the world could ever give back
give within the humbleness of your heart
the world doesn't owe us anything
we owe Him the world

"give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you"
