Nothing Can Stop Me From Giving

For all the despair endured, nothing can make me forget the trust I placed in others; every good intention showed a gullibility which entrapped me, but being used was worse. Do good to those deserving, look out for the treacherous ones who take all you have, leaving mere crumbs for pity; when my wallet was stacked with money I gave generously, in these dire times nobody helps: they look at me as if they looked at a beggar while I cringe inside. I shared my wealth with people who had less than I, there was no prejudice; I considered them friends and trusted them until they showed their true selves. Would I regret my mistake? No, I wouldn't; if I can do it over when Fortune smiles on me again, nothing will stop me from giving! Written on 6/28/2016

Greetings, Pace. Thank you for your kind comment this morning. I am happy that you liked my poem. God gives freely, so should we. Those who are blessed should share their wealth with the less fortunate ones, although some folks take advantage of their generosity. I like the picture you posted, you have a gorgeous child. Enjoy your day with your loved ones. Best Wishes, Andrew.
