Joy of Giving

Day 23 - 2012 Haiku Challenge


Contemplating you
the idea of a man
who compliments me

Who compliments me
This constant man, the source of
my joy of giving

My joy of giving
centres on these wistful thoughts
contemplating you.


Unexpected gifts
Reflect the joy of giving
Ask nothing returned

Ask nothing returned
No expectation of gain
Generosity

Generosity
Never to see rescinding
Unexpected gifts

  10. For some, it is as hard to receive as it is to give without expectation. Nicely done! Here is my Day 23.
