Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Give Off Your Heart -

Reflection upon the man's generosity
You are blessed with holy words and pure good deeds
Those who are generous and those who never want to share
Everything can be used - over and over again
Get rid of something that has collected dust for a long time
It is spring's most beautiful adventure


Recycle of things that are redundant or unnecessary
Some live in wealth while others in poverty
We all have something to share
Something funny, something weird or something pretty
A gift that gives you the feeling of happiness
You can make a difference - spread joy to others in your daily life

Maria Williams June 7, 2017 at 3:19 AM I totally agree Anne-Lise, why hang on to things when others can benefit. I have a rule of thumb now, I look into my wardrobe, and if I haven't used something for a year, then I'm not going to , so give it to charity. I love the picture you've used to enhance you lovely verse......Maria xx Anne-Lise Andresen June 7, 2017 at 3:34 AM - A rule I'm trying to follow me too, Maria :) - Many thanks for friendly visits and comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Connie Marcum Wong June 4, 2017 at 4:22 AM This is so true Anne-Lise. I just recently cleaned out my closet and got rid of most everything I haven't worn in years. We accumulate so many things that we don't use that others can. I believe this is cathartic and rejuvenates the soul. Thank you for this lovely reminder of that. Have a lovely day! : ) 7 Anne-Lise Andresen June 4, 2017 at 6:20 AM - You get a clean closets and others get a gift ... lovely done, Connie :) - Many thanks for friendly visits and comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
