A voice so sweet to echo a treat

Voices so sweet
To echo a treat
Generously given
With shouts from heaven
One good turn
Not expecting a return
Warm and tender
Forever more

Favors are extended
But not obligated
From those helpful
To those who are needful
Not ever expecting a return
(44 words)

    To just help out and not expect anything is truly rare for many. But many more sure are there to lend a hand when needed indeed.

    I like the repetition of not expecting a return.

    Love your use of rhyme here. Giving without expectation of receiving is TRUE giving, indeed.

    Such giving is the best... or then even a smile is a return.
