A Poem by Rev. Jeff Byrd

In the heart of life, where Spirit weaves,
We find the truth that mind believes:
We are deserving of all that’s good,
In love, in joy, in all that’s understood.

For we are each an endless stream,
A spark of light in the Divine’s dream.
Entitled to the gifts of grace,
To abundance that fills every space.

But in this knowing, here we find,
It’s not for self alone, confined—
When we give with open heart,
It’s then that blessings truly start.

For as we care and meet the needs
Of others, sowing loving seeds,
The law of life begins to flow,
Returning tenfold all we sow.

In enlightened self-interest, we stand,
Giving freely, hand in hand.
For in this giving, we receive,
And Spirit’s flow we soon perceive.

So let us give, with love so pure,
Knowing our good is ever sure.
Deserving, yes, and entitled too,
For all we give returns to you.

Always, and in all ways true,
The Universe provides for you.
