"It had been given, then received" Gosh, how breathtakingly true this is! Truly, we receive what we give and we reep what we sow ~ your words really painted my heart with delicate hues of gratitude and self-reflection... every day and each breath are meant to be appreciated and admired... we are blessed to be caressed by the light of Almighty. There's a sense of softness and serenity in your poetry, dear sweet Brandy! Enjoyed reading this, sending love, best wishes and light to you always :)
