Given To by Ruth Bebermeyer
This poem is an excerpt from the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg.
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 love
I 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 so
given to.
