Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Paying It Forward

i can't keep  
      the beautifully wrapped,
    sublime gift of benevolence
    the world bestows upon me
             every other day.
   I couldn't treasure it if I tried
               It's not worth
         as much as a diamond
                to me, unless...
                  I return it.
