God gives us joy that we may give; He gives us joy that we may share; Sometimes He gives us loads to lift That we may learn to bear. For life is gladder when we give, And love is sweeter when we share, And heavy loads rest lightly too When we have learned to bear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE AND LIFE.
