Let Me Give You My Hand

Give to me what you will

Then let me give you my hand

Take from me tenderness and care

Let them flow to you like seeds in the air

Do you see them?

Like snow flakes they drift

Down upon your fertile land

Take them please and know

Kindness grows even in the deepest sand

Spread them out amongst the hated

Feed them to those who starve

Reap a bounty of goodness and blessings

In knowing that giving is better than receiving

And love grows in those who believe in

Sharing even a morsel of goodwill

For it will multiply until

It circles around the world

And your empty hand will soon be filled

With more than you have ever held

The harvest will bountifully yield

Palms facing up and facing down

Hand holding hand across many lands

And then I will ask only

One thing of you still--

Please, take of me

Just what you will.

I really enjoyed this. As I read this I read it in Richard Burton's voice for some reason. And it sounded so wonderful! This is one of your very best!

I like the abandon you display here in giving- the joy of giving in true love is unparaleled, dear Kathy.
