the selfish benefit

We only see the outsides
of others, but some
know how to give from within
and they teach us to, too. If I had
to answer why you were here? I could only

answer in terms of the selfish benefit
you provide. You take things in and do
things to and with them, so that when

you give them forth, there is insight
and point
and purpose that wasn't there before.

Not everyone can do that, but more
would dare, encouraged by your example.
And find ways they could.

No one gives as you do,
from your angle. But you
help us find ours.
