such elegant words of wisdom from someone who knows life well the older I get, the more clear these lessons become. every poem so perfectly written each with an important insight into the meaning of life it matters not which one I happen to select
I purchased my bliss with gifts of my hand. I loaned with no interest required. loved your write.
Amazing poem! Very emotive. I wish I was half as talented! Thank you for your kind words about my child-like verses. Dawn xx
This is a real good poem. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Your poem states a true fact that there should always be a great pleasure in receiving also. Joy comes from both giving and receiving. Enjoyed this. Please read my poem Sharing is Caring and an Angel just for Me.
Again Adeline, I simply love the way you write. I read them loud to myself and it flows smoothly.. I know that giving brings some joy and satisfaction. Being in a position to give, no matter how little, is a joyous thing. And, I have found these lines especially to be true: .... I’ve learned that humility Must also know how to receive. Thank you as always!
Real friends are few and far between. Sometimes we can old them at arms length. A fantastic poem.
