Given To, by Ruth Bebermeyer
I never feel more given to
than when you take from me
–when you understand the joy I feel
giving to you.
And you know my giving isn’t done
to put you in my debt,
but because I want to live the loveI feel for you.
To receive with grace
may be the greatest giving.
There’s no way I can separate
the two.
When you give to me,
I give you my receiving.
When you take from me, I feel sogiven to.

-Song “Given To” (1978)
