The Meaning of the Word

Isn’t it strange how the word give is interpreted?

Everyone thought I meant creak apart a wallet,

Sign a check.

Open a vein.

I meant open a door

Pick up the phone

Share a talent

Say yes even when it might cost you

(No, not your bank account.  Your heart.)

Step out of your comfort zone

Take a risk

Be brave

Share yourself

Not your stuff

Well maybe sometimes your stuff,

Too.
