Whatever you give away today
Or think or say or do
Will multiply about tenfold
And then return to you.
It may not come immediately,
Nor from the obvious source
But the law applies unfailingly
Through some invisible force.
Whatever you feel about another,
Be it love or hate or passion
Will surely balance right back to you
In some clear or secret fashion.
If you speak about some person,
A word of praise or two,
Soon many people will speak
Many kind words of you too.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul
Not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness,
Petty ones bring untold pain.
Giving works as surely
As reflections in a mirror
If hate you send, hate you get back
But loving brings love nearer.
Remember as you start this day
And duty crowds your mind,
That kindness comes so quickly
Back to those who first are kind.
Let that thought and this one
Direct you through each day...
The only things we ever keep
Are the things we give away.
