A very inspiring poem, loved it. The joy of giving, 'To lighten load that too heavily weighs'- has no parallel.
Give it in cash though kindest give in kind, A gift of willing heart and well inclined, A gift coming from soul— body and mind. Give, the only joy greater than getting, The only joy rarer than receiving, Be the joy of giving and forgetting! - - - -Beautiful thought, beautiful words.
Give, the only joy greater than getting, The only joy rarer than receiving, Be the joy of giving and forgetting! ........so true. A beautiful poem with outstanding concept is amazingly shared. Thank you sir.
Thanks for visiting again dear KM, again with such good words....
There is a reference to the word 'slippers' in this poem. By oversight I had spelled it as 'sleepers'. A kindly poet pointed it out thru the mail.Blessed be that poet.
When one likes something, loves it, that love may make him a bit blind. I say 'may', but not always.
I love this great poem sir! It provides me enormous pleasure reading this value laden piece time and again!
I like your missionary zeal dear poet and the spirit with which you pursue what you think is right. These are great qualities.
Now that we are in this time of uncertainty and hardship, I find this beautiful poem more meaningful. Deeply touching and the kindest thoughts embedded in this write will always touch the heart. Liked the opening stanza. Very heartwarming lines. Stay safe and blessed, Sir.
When a poet has to go back to an old poem to comment on, it might mean: the latest poems fail to find muster, are not quite up to much. But thank heavens, you have given a very valid reason for it. Thanks for wishing me well, this world perhaps has gone short of good wishes, which we all need badly.

There is always joy in giving attitude and we should maintain this. Giving quality brightens us like Lord Krishna brightens us giving his grace. We feel his presence. This poem is very lovely! Hare Krishna!
Every such feedback reinforces in me the belief that many agree with what I said in this poem, thank you so much dear poet.
With a more open and giving heart, we can create a ripple of kindness and love in the universe, if even for just one moment. Beautiful piece.
yes, world is a place of give and take, but if we develop an attitude of giving more than taking, world would be a different place. Thanks dear poet.
