We Gave

by darknbeautiful-1

We gave because we feel that we must We gave because we know it’s the right thing to do We gave because we were corner into giving We gave from the kindness of our hearts Giving is not always a fear exchange. occasionally we get shortchange Giving is a guilty conscience: you give me something I have to return the favor. Some givers like to stay out of the limelight:  that’s me it’s best way out :  no acceptance speech No you “shouldn’t have, it was so generous of you You are so kind to think of me". Giving is like uncut rough diamond, it never sparkles until it polish
