Narrative Which Is Imperative

Narrative Which Is Imperative

This has become  a renown narrative;
In each sermon it became imperative;
Word for word,
Often have heard;
To love and live must give, give, give.

Hi James, If a sermon is all about giving If we want to carry on living, I have no quarrel with the saying, and surely care about forgiving, But it is we to decide where to give, As my husband and I help a few poor to live! A Happy Christmas James to you and yours.

We are always giving our poems away and the desire to inspire and fire up others to also write them.

Your limerick is so appropriate for the season of giving, James. I hope you are doing well and having a nice holiday season. It has finally cooled down in Florida, though a high of 75 degrees is expected here on Christmas Day. Perhaps I'll go fishing! Best wishes, Carolyn

Used to live in Key West 1946-1950 when my dad was stationed at Boca Chica on a seaplane. I can barely remember those days.
