The Recipient of the Gift



The Recipient of the Gift
Rabash
  We know
That when the recipient of a gift
Praises the gift that his friend gave him,
His friend enjoys it even more.

But if the recipient of the gift tells him:
"I have no need for the gift you gave me,"
His friend will surely not be pleased.
On the contrary,
The more the recipient
Feels a need for the gift,
The more the giver is pleased.


It is expressed in the measure
Of gratitude that the recipient
Gives back to the giver.
Hence, the more
We try to enjoy
The delight and the pleasure
That the Creator gave us,
The more there is contentment Above,
From the recipient’s increased pleasure.
