How do I give back, is a question that recently
I have started pondering over frequently
I have more than enough to fulfill my needs
And a little surplus for my future generation indeed
In my primary vocation I am fortunate
To be able to, human suffering alleviate
Beyond that I am not sure whether I can make
A difference im the world, I do not know what it would take
To bring about a change that lasts
In a world that seems to change quite fast
*
So what does it take to make a change in the world that is positive
There are billionaire philanthropists who give
Massive sums in charity-while most of us cannot afford
Charitable donations of that magnitude, the impact of smaller acts cannot be ignored
When one person volunteers his money, time or effort
Maybe one unfortunate event he can avert
Maybe one single human being’s life he can improve
Maybe just one hardship he can remove…
*
Let me start from somewhere, some resources I possess
I can give freely, provide someone access
To necessities that I for granted take
I hope a positive difference I can make
As I gain prosperity, I hope I can raise
My standard of giving, give in different ways
*
As I think about giving, let me conclude
With a heartfelt prayer filled with gratitude..
