About This Quote
The poem is about the power of giving. People are often afraid of giving because they worry that they won’t be enough. They worry they won’t be able to give enough to make the other person happy. Instead, the poem is about giving with an eye on each other.
It celebrates how you can make someone happier by giving them the very thing that you have. It is not about competing with others or falling short, but rather about laying something down for someone else and knowing that it will be there when needed.
