To cherish one in their childhood is to give
Must we empathize with our foes to forgive?
Slapdash ideation hoarded in a sieve
Spilled ink replenishing our will to live
To cherish one in their dotage is to give
-Eugenia

Tale of Woe 
What do I give when I have no more?
When giving weakens our heart and our soul, it destroys.
I have nothing more to give from deep within
My soul is saddened, thus no more giving.

If you GIVE me a hug, I will hold on tight
Need a lot of hugs to get through tonight.
I treasure what you Give, because I know you care
Give and keep on Giving,
You are a wonderful kind ‘Dear’

The past few weeks has taken me to the point of ‘no more’. Somehow though when I am totally at the brink of lowest there is still more to give from within. Thanks, appreciate your support … #regenerating

Nice words Eugenia. Forgiveness is a great word but a difficult thing to give sometimes.

To give is the best gift that we can give
for when we give we purchase ourselves some reprieve.
Okay, I love your poem and had to chip in a bit 😉
