Those who dare give nothing <br />Are left with less than nothing; <br />Dear heart, you give me everything, <br />Which leaves you more than everything- <br />Though those who dare give nothing <br />Might judge it left you less than nothing. <br /> <br />Giving you everything, <br />I too, who once had nothing, <br />Am left with more than everything <br />As gifts for those with nothing <br />Who need, if not our everything, <br />At least a loving something.<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-giving/
