THE ART OF GIVING!

Would love to know your take on this poem, so I may learn more about the art ...

THE ART OF GIVING!
 
Only when you get hurt

You learn to value

The art of giving

 
As you realize

Something valuable

Has been snatched away

 
You wish!

You curse!

You aspire for hope!

You pray!

Wondering, some miracle to happen

 
The ticking sound of seconds

Hits you like an atom bomb

Shattering every myth

Showing you the reality

 
You promise to God

You will never hurt

Anyone ever again

 
Your belief in God

Multiplies hundred folds in a minute

The nail has been hit perfectly

At the right place

And perfect time

 
Moments turn into hours

Hours into days

Days into weeks

As months turn into years

A different you, is born

 
As you reminisce old times

You find how much has changed

 
Your anger has subsided

You start admiring others

Not really knowing

Why you are doing so

 
It feels good!

It makes you joyful

You nod and smile to yourself

 
The world looks lively

Colourful, full of moments

You give smile to strangers

 
You have learn to share first

Then starts giving

 
It may be physical help

At times emotional too!

 
A joy within your heart

Blooms into a flower

 
The fragrance travels to distant land

Bees, butterflies, birds flock towards you

 
As they suck the beauty from you

You smile

To cherish their content look

As you have never cherished anything before

 
Oh, boy! You have finally learn

The art of giving!
