Giving and Forgiving
What makes life worth the living
          Is our giving and forgiving
 
Giving tiny bits of kindness
          That will leave a joy behind us
 
And forgiving bitter trifles
          That the right word often stifles
 
For the little things are bigger 
          That we often stop to figure
 
What makes life worth living 
          Is our giving and forgiving
