Best Give And Take Poems

The give and take in love should reach a mean
whereby the two be equally disbursed,
so givers' hearts would never suffer lean,
cold hungry hours without love reimbursed.

And those who take would never reach the stage
of ravenous and selfish, one-way traits.
Such balance would create a better age,

As down the path of life I go
footprints in time I make
and Mother Nature gaily plays
her game of give and take.
She gives me wisdom every year
in varying degrees
but takes away the knowledge as
to where I've left my keys.
She takes my hair in wispy strands
each night...

Light
      we need
      in our hearts
      Soft, brilliant glow
      Give

      Hold
      my hand

A bird's wings may evolve into flippers,
just like the penquin.

so that the penquin can adapt and evolve to swim.
Evolution is a give and take proposition.
When you adapt and evolve a new ability,
you lose an older one....

There comes a moment
when at the crossroads of life...
a need of poetry,
an encompass of one’s self
to give of and to receive.

Love, a word so simple and yet so grand
A feeling that takes hold of our hearts and hands
It sweeps us off our feet and takes us high
It fills our world with colors we can't deny

Love is a flame that never fades
A light that shines through...

Somebody fill me in
on the give and take
Please, somebody ... 
please, anybody

Somebody tell me
what is real and what is fake
I wanna hear it from somebody
I need to hear from anybody ... no copies
I see     walking mannequins     ...

bow and kiss my hand
I'll grant you an adventure
for, I am your queen
and you are the court jester
      we will conquer this land
      with our idiotic love
      the funniest thing...

Me each time I see your smile
Keeping a memory file
That is locked away so deep

And find courage to confess
I'm in a state of distress
And can't hold back anymore
All...

when i grow up, i wanna be a pickpocket
more respectable perhaps than a hypocrite
to tell the truth i really don't want to remit
yet it seems kinda unkind, to just be opposite

so i'll say to you the outrage i feel
'bout things that to me, seem too...

Yes, God does give and take away
but when He gives, it is a gift
a truth your life so well portrays,
the one our lives were well spent with.
Our minds and hearts they cling to you
sifting through every memory
to find the best of you to be
what God...
