A Gift

Take a smile,
give it those who never had it.

Take a sunbeam,
let it fly where the night reigns.

Discover a source,
wet those who live in mud.

Take a tear, lay it on the face of those who never cry.

Take courage,
put it in the soul of those who don't know how to fight.

Discover life,
tell it to those who don't understand it.

Take hope,
and live in its light.

Take goodness,
and give it to those who don't know how to give.

Discover love,
and convey it to the world.

Mahatma Gandhi
