How Blessings Are Earned Poem by Joan Marques

Give the gift of love, because the world needs it
Give the gift of peace: you'll find it in your heart
Give the gift of support, because someone deserves it
Give the gift of knowledge, because you're smart

Give the gift of listening: you can, because you care
Give the gift of affection, as it warms all around
Give the gift of good thoughts, even if no one sees them
Give the gift of sharing: it's a hard one to be found

Give the gift of truth: it's almost wiped out today
Give the gift of trust, and you'll find it is returned
Give the gift of goodwill, as a dedicated human
Give the gift of giving: it's how blessings are earned
