What somebody gives depends on him. How we live out life depends on us.
GIVING AND LIVING


One can give but what one has
Be it the clay or gold.
What comes out depends on what
We feed inside the mould.

Why blame the giver if the
Gift is too dull and cheap?
It’s for us to quietly
Trash it or, with us, keep.

Even the great Giver has
His own way of giving.
He gives life but leaves us free
To choose our own living.

All of us keep up a show,
Play our own tiny part,
Till one day from the stage we
Unannounced do depart.
