It is in giving that we receive !

              Today Carpe Diem has given a very thoughtful saying for a Haiku."It is in giving that we receive", written by St. Francis of Assissi.

                                                              Mother Earth's bounties we get
                                                          innumerable ,without asking, plenty she gives.
                                                                   Be always thankful to her.





                                                        A mothers' love  for her child
                                             pure, simple , never demanding nor claiming
                                                        knows only how to give.



                                                      The sun, moon,stars,breeze
                                           God's bounties plenty  for all living beings
                                                        Always to keep them happy.



Written for Carpe Diem Haiku #105, St. Francis of Assisi's first quote 'it is in giving that we recieve'.
