Roots want so tree lives,
Mother wants so children can be fed,
Earth wants to be quenched so seeds can sprout,
Call it selfless wanting
Trees give shade
And flowers give fragrance unasked,
Sun gives light and
Fruits get consumed giving,
Call it giving that fulfills self
What touches heart more,
Selfless wanting
or
Giving that fulfills self?

The question asked at end, commendable!!! Very difficult to answer! BEautiful thought process here :)
Really nice!:)
Both are really touching in different ways...beautiful poem :)
I love that you have started with 'roots' and ended with 'self'. I think it is an inevitable cycle, rotation: wanting and needing, filling and serving. There are treasures that the planet gives without being prompted, all that it asks is that we preserve. Lovely thoughts here.
Thank you for your visit. :)
I think it's pretty amazing to recognize how beautiful it is to give.
