Art Of Giving Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Art Of Giving

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Ms. Oprah Winfrey)

it's about feeling
it's about studying
it's about knowing
it's about empathy

it's around us
it's beside us
it's behind us
it's near us

all about love
all about emotion
all about affection
all about understanding

no one
will be
sad
after help

no one
will be
poor
after donate

no one
will be
sick
after support

look at
cheerish
faces
of homeless men

feel into
innocence
eyes
of hunger children

listen to
thankful
voices
of polluted nature

who love
who live in this earth
will be love very much
by who live in the sky

who care
who seek food in this world
will be care very much
by who live in the heaven

deliver God's gift
to other and nature
deliver God's love
to other and nature

then you will find
richness
then you will find
happiness

then you will find
togetherness
then you will not find
regretful

(inspired by Pierre-Auguste Renoir's On the Terrace)

This poem is your best poem I think you said it all in this poem But remember that when you give you have to feel in your heart the desire to give

Very Nice.... If everyone could understand the natural order of giving and how much you recieve in return. The Circle of Life always coming back. They would be more careful of how they treated one another. I like what you said and the way you said it.

A poem that is simple but with profound implications. The art of living and giving, in fact.
