what you give and take

what you give:
will stay with you as long as you live:
what you take:
for the moment you feel great:

what you give from your heart within:
in your life serenity and peace you win:
if you take with your own selfishness and greed:
to your ownself one day you will realize you have decieved:

when you give god smiles upon you bright:
when you give its your pure joy and delight:
when you take only your own happiness you make:
you will feel eventually as a dried up lake:

good karma will return to you when you give:
with peace and serenity in happiness you shall prosper and live:
bad karma will return if you take:
that will be your biggest mistake:

give generously with love compassion and care:
with all your heart share:
do not take for yourself in greed:
if you do you will not find true happiness even you have more than you need:

in our life all that we give:
will be with us for as long as we live:
all that we take--one day it we will loose:
so give lovingly wholeheartedly generously please choose:
