Giving

"Give, Said the Little Stream..."

We sang long, long ago;

So little did I realize

The seeds this song had sown.

Seeds sown deep within my heart,

Concerning joys of giving;

Seeds that sprouted in bloom

And made my life worth living.

"Give, Said the Little Stream..."

I hear it echo still.

Though small, it made fields greener still

While hurrying down the hill.

Singing, singing on its way,

It kept on giving, giving;

May we, just like this little stream,

Make giving part of living.
