The Law Of Life
Whatever you give away today or think or say or do
Will multiply about tenfold and then return to you.
It may not come immediately nor from the obvious source
But the Law applies unfailingly through some invisible force.
Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion,
Will surely bounce right back to you in some clear (or secret) fashion.
If you speak about some person a word of praise or two,
Soon, tens of other people will speak kind words of you.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul, not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness; petty ones, untold pain.
Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back, but loving brings love nearer.
Remember, as you start this day and duty crowds your mind,
That kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind.
Let that thought and this one direct us through each day . . .
The only things we ever keep are the things we give away.
