Many Are Giving Much Less

Many are giving much less,
thinking that giving more is worthless;
have they been moved by the beggar,
or by the lonely one holding on fragile hope?
Have they become so heartless, not taking down
the monstrous wall of hopelessness? 

I have given more not to feel the guilt
and observing folks in their daily rush,
why can't they offer a minute of their time
and feel delighted for their generous deed?

Many are giving much less,
not sharing their moments with others,
not hugging a person so distraught,
and wearing their crown of vanity:
don't they feel how the thorns poke
and make them bleed internally?

Let's exult generosity and show it
always even when we aren't blessed:
giving a little is better than nothing;
and if we give all we have, we earn Heaven!
