Poems

It came Back
I gave it away, every chance I got.
But, it kept coming back.
I didn't really need it, though.
I had plenty in my sack.

I'd meet someone downtrodden
And I'd reach into that sack.
Out would come some kindness,
"Keep it. I don't need it back."

But, somehow, it always did come back.
It was returned to me tenfold.
The more I gave it to others,
The more there was to hold.

I gave it away. But, it came back.
The kindness was overflowing.
I'd reach into my bag of love,
For I knew where it was going.
