Be giving

by Kiaknarocks

Give tears to those who want it,

love to those that need it,

care to those that want it,

friendship to those to weak to seek it,

compassion to those who've met it,

and courage to those who must believe.

I'm a hard working over achiever. I love my family and friends and they're my reason for living. I pretty much dabble in everything. I don't really have a talent, but I have experiences, both good and bad. And that's what I can share with people.

I'm actually quite glad that the last line made you think. You're actually on the right lines in questioning if the belief is accurate. It actually does belong with the others in the sense that those who feel that they HAVE to believe in something usually are the people who need the most courage to make it through the obstacles they face as they need constancy to support them through the chaos. Thank you for your comment. :)

<p>A charming proverb on compassion, nicely done. I am reflecting on the last line; however, courage to those who MUST believe; that to me is an interesting remark because is the thing I are believing in necessarily true? Nevertheless, it is different from the continuous emphasis on one&#39;s own problems.&nbsp;Q.V.</p>
