Analysis of True giving
Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)
Sometimes you can't give money
To others when needed
Sometimes you can't give hugs
Some don't know how to read them
You can't give advice
To a soul that doesn't want it
You can't give food
If a person don't really need it
You can't give hope
To a soul who doesn't
Want. It
You can send forth a prayer
For no one can stop That.
