Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. Philippians 4:17 ESV
To mature is not an easy task
My world revolves around me
WhenI I cry,I get what I ask
My comfort is all that I see
Parents sacrifice for their children
They find a joy in their giving
No medals, accolades or trophies
A happy rhythm, worth the living
We make many choices in life
We eat fruit both bad and good
The best kind includes joyful giving
Satisfies all of the shoulds
Love, joy, hope and peace
Tasty fruit at the giver’s door
The selfless find them often
Growing in life, more and more
I don’t have to meet every need
Tis grace that calls my name
I’m growing in my cheerful giving
Prefer others first, that’s my game
