Show Me All the Bounty of Your Giving Alpha List Season's Greetings Poems Philosophical Poems Poems About Charity Contents Home All poems: copyright by Nicholas Gordon Free scrapbook poems permission to use provided by the author. Show me all the bounty of your giving: Each cornucopia spills out in vain As some of the sweet happiness of living Sinks deep into a dry and dusty plain. Of labor and of love there is no ending, Nor can we ever pocket our reward. Some tender that we're tempted into spending Goes for gifts that others can't afford. Remember that the Earth's a single sea, Equable in what one takes and gives. Each act redeems its value naturally, Taking grace from everything that lives. In giving there is rich and varied treasure, Nor more nor less than taking's vivid pleasure, Granting ample joy to those who care, Subject to what pain they choose to share. [contents] [home]
