I am learning: true value
is determined by the dollar amount
placed on goods and services
bargain basement prices and give-aways
allotted minimal value
acts of altruism ridiculed
kindness misinterpreted
respect for intentions
an alien concept
to the takers
the dichotomy: financial remuneration
an additional reward
when value is shown
through enthusiasm and joy
of those you'd happily give to
for their understanding of
the essence of giving.
