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 the 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 to 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.
