The Giver's Heart

The Giver's Heart Give and take in love must be dispersed so givers' hearts do not endure lean hours without their need of love reimbursed. Those who take must never reach a shameful stage of one-way, selfish traits. Sublime, when give and take are equal weights. Sometimes this does not balance out because givers give beyond the gifts they bear, to feed on crumbs, for without doubt, hungry takers take more than their givers' offered share— tip the scales with gain. Then givers, weak and thin, smile thru their pain. Sandra M.

Your poem speaks of a universal truth Ma'am.Give and take as a concept is so much an illusion.

Thank you for your visit to my poem, Miraj. Yes, I suppose you are right, but one can hope. I see many relationships that are so unbalanced this way. Again, thank you for your support. Sandra
