In The Giving There's A Benefit

To have awakened is a good thing to be! And I have learned, In the many years it has taken me to do it... That the being there for someone else, Will not automatically be interpretated... As an appreciation to be shown one day, With a reciprocation known that's received. I have learned, There will be many taking others for granted... With a doing which is believed, A duty to misuse someone dependable. Until a reality hits and a doing this is missed. And a waiting to sit by a telephone, Wishing to hear it ring is a familiar sound gone. I have learned, In the giving there's a benefit. And I have learned, Those who give are not desperate. To have awakened is a good thing to be. And I have learned, Those who give are not desperate. I have learned, In the giving there's a benefit. And I have learned... To leave alone, Those who take for granted... Someone giving up their time to misuse. I have learned, In the giving there's a benefit. And I have learned... Those who give are not desperate. Oh yes I've learned... To leave alone, Those who take for granted... Someone giving up their time to abuse.
