LET ME BE A GIVER, by MARY CAROLYN DAVIES Poet's Biography First Line: God, let me be a giver, and not one Last Line: Some lonely soul to bless. Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Leland, Mrs.; Pawtuxie Subject(s): Kindness | ||||||||
God, let me be a giver, and not one Who only takes and takes unceasingly; God, let me give, so that not just my own, But others' lives as well, may richer be. Let me give out whatever I may hold Of what material things life may be heaping, Let me give raiment, shelter, food, or gold If these are, through Thy bounty, in my keeping. But greater than such fleeting treasures, may I give my faith and hope and cheerfulness, Belief and dreams and joy and laughter gay Some lonely soul to bless. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR THE SAKE OF STRANGERS by DORIANNE LAUX A CONSIDERABLE SPECK by ROBERT FROST BUT I DO NOT NEED KINDNESS by GREGORY NUNZIO CORSO HER DILEMMA; IN CHURCH by THOMAS HARDY A CASUALTY LIST by MARY CAROLYN DAVIES |
