To give back

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..
