是我得到的最好的禮物岛心，
當(dāng)你知道我因施與你而快樂稚虎。
你明白撤嫩，我的給予不是讓你欠我的人情，

欣然的接受，
或許是最佳的賞賜茴她。
我無法將二者分開寻拂。
當(dāng)你施與我，我給你我的接納丈牢。
當(dāng)你取之于我祭钉，我感激你的賜予〖号妫”

Given To,
by Ruth Bebermeyer
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.
