95. When I offer gratitude

```

When I offer gratitude to God

And God alone

I secretly expect

A greater favour from God.

When I offer gratitude to man

Man immediately claims

The most legitimate favour from me.

O God, with my gratitude

I hopefully try to fool you.

O man, with my gratitude

I unavoidably bind my helpless self. ```
