 Sharing

An early childhood adage states

In life, " sharing is caring."

What wisdom in this catchy phrase 

A closer look worth bearing

Yes, caring's at the very heart

Of all generosity 

For, if you care about someone 

Sharing comes more easily

Our nature's a more selfish one

Thus, sharing must be taught

For what we have, we want to keep

So don't share like we ought 

And since we have that attitude 

Find it quite hard to believe 

There's any truth in those that say

Better to give than to receive 

Yet, if you've seen a face light up

When you decide to share

There can be no denying 

That there is great value there

Not just to the recipient 

Also to the one who gave

For sharing can be freeing

While all selfishness  enslaves

If you think 'bout someone you know

That's a kind and caring soul

Then, I can all but guarantee 

That sharing they extol

For it is from the overflow

Of a good and caring heart

That other's needs are noticed

Thus, God's perfect love impart

For we reflect the Father

The true source of all good things

When we share the blessings he's bestowed

And see the joy it brings

So, won't you share what e'er you have

Resources, time, your love

And share the Gospel of Good News

'Bout caring God above
