Better to Give

by

Hardy Parkerson

O I can't paint a picture,
And I can't sing a song;
Can't play a piano,
But I can write a poem.

Everybody's got
Something to give
To make this world
A better place to live.

So you paint your picture,
Or you sing your song;
But don't fault me
For writing a poem!

For when your picture has crumbled,
Say in a thousand years,
My little poem
may still be here.

When they have long since
Quit singing your song,
They may still be quoting
My little poem.

So on this earth, as long as you live,
You will always have something to give:
It may be a picture, or it may be a song,
Or a lift a stranger as you ride along.

For to whom much is given

From the same much is required.

So don't stop giving

Until you've expired.
