Everytime i read your poems i feel Like you speak for me, this hits home. And is so true, sometimes i wonder too do i ever learn. But having some people who remind me to remember helps me. Love how you’ve said so much in few words. Always a pleasure reading you. Sending you light talented soul

I've learned to give only the things that I don't need. Be always careful.

Far from saintly vijay honestly…..just one of millions of kind hearted humans in this world….who gets disappointed at times. Thanks lovely friend! Deb

And feel guilty for thinking you mustn't feel this way when you know how a little reciprocation could take away the bad thoughts you have and warm your heart and the takers too! Another good one Deb Take care, Old Duck XX

But giving is so much nobler than taking, is it not?!... Tell you what, Deb: Give me an inch (2.54 cm), and I'll take a mile!

No. A giver never learns, but they appear ever lovelier to the eyes of other givers. Honest, brave write. I know the disappointed feeling.
