Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Given and Giving

Since I was born I've been taught to

Be grateful for the gift of life,

And always strive to think and do

For others through both joy and strife.

So when too much in self I go,

I am reminded that I need

Readjust my mindfulness so

I help others in thought and deed.

When usefulness I think and do,

There is a joy that's given strong,

All the more reason to pursue

The gift of giving all life long.

Life is a gift given to me

To give to others joyfully.
