If we listen, we are heard

If we impart knowledge, we learn

If we show respect, we earn respect

If we care, we are cared for

If we give freely, we receive tenfold

If we are a friend, we have friends

If we lift others’ spirits, we feel joy

If we give love, we are loved

If we cultivate hope, it takes root in us

If we share our blessings, we are blessed

What
GOES around
Really does
COME around
