Generositree

By Meera Jenkal

What if we could be like a tree?

Generous with everyone.

Offering shade and serenity;

Be they saint or sinner.

For does it decide your virtue?

It gives equally.

Giving what it is given.

By someone greater than you or me.

A heavenly sHe.

It asks not for anything in return.

This is a lesson we can learn.

What if we could live in a world of share?

Where everyone knows to care.

Would ours not be a beautiful place?

That other beings could admire from outer space?

So I try to be like a tree.

Generous with everyone.

Offering soul and serenity.

Be you saint or sinner.

For who am I to decide your virtue?

I give what I am given.

Believing that I belong to a higher sHe.
