Live To Give

Live to give and not merely to exist.
Bettering someone else's life with a 
memory or a tip. Seeing beyond yourself 
to bring about peace of mind to 
better someone else's situation with 
a little of your time. Live to give and not merely to exist. 
\Learning to choose your fights wisely 
and not for the sake of spite but for 
honor, pride and dignity to live a 
peaceful life. Live to give and not 
merely to exist for the importance of 
life will surely pass you by if you 
don't try and just plan on getting by. 
You won't have anything to give unless 
you sacrifice pieces of your life. 
\A selfish man does things his way with 
no regard to others for his mission is 
to exist for himself and in himself he 
lives to exist.

Hello Kellie, a wise poem. I wish life was easy, and we could just get by with no worries. However life does not work in that manner. I've learned to be a very giving person... even if one is selfish and does not give back... it's the nature of life right! enjoyed your poem, and mail. I hope you learn to navigate this site.. your friend SKAT
