[carcione at access.net]

A person on the Bookshare volunteer listserve posted this excerpt of a poem,
and I thought people here would appreciate it, too.

 

Excerpt from 'The Joy of Giving' John Greenleaf Whittier:

Somehow, not only for Christmas 

But all the long year through, 

The joy that you give to others 

Is the joy that comes back to you; 

And the more you spend in blessing 

The poor and lonely and sad, 

The more of your heart's possessing 

Returns to make you glad.
