Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 7
Give, give and give again,
To give without reserve is living.
Fall, fall and fall again,
To fall without stopping is rising.
Break, break and break again,
To break without bending is integrity.
Lose, lose and lose again,
To lose without submitting is victory.
Love, love and love again,
To love despite being fooled is sanity.
Help, help and help again,
To help despite being deceived is humanity.
To give is to live, that is the civilized normal.
Kindness alone sets the human apart from animal.
