A SONG OF GIVING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: IN MY GIFTS I TRAVEL FAR
Last Line: GIVERS' WINGS ARE FAR THE BEST.
Subject(s): GIFTS & GIVING;

In my gifts I travel far
As the needy nations are, --
North and south and east and west;
Givers' travels are the best.

In my gifts I dig a mine
Down where lordliest treasures shine, --
Gratitude of hearts oppressed;
Givers' Klondikes are the best.

In my gifts I mount and rise
Through the reaches of the skies
To a heaven of joy and rest;
Givers' wings are far the best.
