You give, you get
That’s what they say
Rewarded for your kindness
In surprising ways
But what I get is something given
Something different then it seems
I am truly not the giver
I am simply a young teen
My actions, my words
They have meaning its true
But the true meaning is their words
The words that they give to me too
A simple thank you or smile
It makes everything worth while
The joy and laughter
Makes me not care about the after
The messes, the chaos
It doesn’t matter to me
The lesson I learn
Is the value of We
We may be different
But that’s the fun part
A community of people
All together as His art
I couldn’t go without
My life wouldn’t be complete
For my purpose is serving
Every moment that I see
I am young and small
So much still to learn
Life may need me
But it’s giving that I yearn
I change, I grow
As all children do
I’m lucky enough to see
That they change too
I wouldn’t be me without the service that I give
To me when I serve is truly when I live
