The Giving Tree

She was like the giving tree, she gave and gave and gave all that she had, and she was happy. Well she was happy because they were happy, and she was happy for a little while.

But she gave so much, and sometimes she was unsure about it, she wanted to make people happy, but the lengths she went to so that she could do that were not always within what she wanted to do. She gave the effort of doing the hard large amounts of work on projects, she gave rides, she gave up her time and she even gave BJ's, and much of the time she was taken for granted.

She needed to give, and to make others happy, and make herself happy and feel a sence of accomplishment and satisfaction. But she also needed someone who would support her, who would help make her happy when she needed it, and who would help her decide when she was helping someone and when she was being used.

Because for a long time, the giving tree is left a stump, sad and lonely, hoping that the boy will come back and it will be loved. And while giving is important, that is no way to live.
