A Heart's Reckoning

I Some hearts, though yearning for kindness, falter at its gate. Unable to repay the gift, their hands remain too late. Before you pour your goodness like a river's gentle flow, Consider the recipient's heart, and the kindness that it may know. II For sharing your light with those who cannot see, May lead to shadows of regret and a heart that's weary. The wrong recipient may turn your gift to pain, Leaving you with sorrow and a heart in vain. III So, choose wisely, to whom you give your heart, For kindness, like a boomerang, may return to its start. And though it's noble to give, it's wise to know, The heart that receives it, and the love that it may show.
