He Does It In The Giving Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When one is given to serious thought...
That seriousness,
Should be on one's 'mental list'.

I choose to begin with God.
Followed by family,
And my love of friends.
Then myself.
With a desire to keep my wishes,
Prioriticized.

My thought process is always orderly.
Sometimes God pushes me,
To have me think of myself first.
I use to think that was selfish.

And God laughs at me!
Knowing no one could ever be more 'selfish',
Than He!
And He does it in the giving!
That's how 'selfish' He is!
