To Cherish

to cherish living one must give

absolve anger and opt to forgive

hasty judgment one can’t outlive

 blissful moments to be relived

 §

This week the event is to write a story or poem of 5 Lines or Less using the word give. Please drop by and join the fun at Patricia’s Place

    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.

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

    Cherishing another at any time of their life, from childhood to dotage, is to give.

    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 😉
