Hi everyone! My name's James Lambert and I wanted to post something here which highlights what this forum is hoping to achieve in my opinion. We are all here to learn from each other and we can do that by sharing our experiences, good and bad, for the benefit of all. Hope you like.
"Giving"
To get he had tried, yet his store was still meager.
To a wise man he cried, in a voice keen and eager;
"Pray tell me how I may successfully live?"
And the wise man replied,
"To get you must give."
As to giving he said, "What have I to give?"
I've scarce enough bread, and of course one must live;
But I would partake of Life's bountiful store.
Came the wise man's response;
"Then you must give more."
The lesson he learned. to get was forgotten,
Toward mankind he turned
with a love newbegotten.
As he gave of himself in unselfish living,
Then joy crowned his days,
for he grew rich in giving.
