To give reluctantly, the gift of the hand, not
of the heart.
“Tis better not to have given at all for it doth
impart
A spirit of meanness within a pocket of plenty.
To give cheerfully but not in proportion to need
Does not look to the receiver to help and to
feed
A spirit of pride fullness lying within a cold
heart.
To give cheerfully and proportionately does
impart
A kindness of spirit, from one who risks all to
win
Not just a pocket cache but the man deep within.
And to give in such a way that the distressed do
Not now their benefactor, that is a secret too.
One goal is to teach a man a trade or to help
find
Him valued work so that it challenges his mind
Foregoing the need for charity which demeans
all.
Christ’s promise is to provide our needs as we
call
For it gives such joy and pours bountiful
blessings.
Amen
