Gave little but got much much more.....

Giving brings joy is what I have heard a great deal of times,
yet when I actually gave was when I felt the joy and peace steal over me.
I did not give money or any thing material...
I gave my time, to the needy.
Little souls that look up to you with such faith and trust.
Their eyes follow you when you enter their space.
Their tails wag.
Their tongues hang out and they lick you over and over.
Such pure love, such unselfish love.
Brought tears to my eyes.
It was when one lay beside me and relaxed enough to sleep, was when
my heart soared and I felt it would burst with joy.
I sat still, my hand moving gently over his fragile body,
and a smile on my face.
There are very few words that can come close to describe my state of heart and mind.
I was at peace. The long road of unsettledness and the feeling of something is amiss,
all dissipated and all that I came away with was a quite and peace.
The world made a little more sense than usual.
I gave a few hours but got back ten times more.....
