Be good
Be kind
Be generous
Be gentle
Be gracious
Be all that you can be
For others
For you surely will get what you give
You will receive from God what you portion out to others
Give all
Then you shall get all
Give the best
You shall get the best
The measure that you give out
Will come back to you
So friends
Live
And be kind
There is only of each person in this universe
They are special
Just like you
Let them know the feeling
Of treasure, of uniqueness
That belongs to them
Your Father in heaven has the same feeling toward you
So give
Share
Your love, His love
Be that special someone
That one remembers
Be counted
And not forget
To be all you can be
Best to you
And best to all
Best from the One
Who starts
To give is to gain
in the eyes of the mind
of a soul that is honest
and loving and kind.
It's fair to expect
that you get what you give
as your life is a measure
of morals you live.
What do we gain
when were willing to give?
What force feeds the soul
in our willing to live?
When given the chance
of a lifetime to choose,
our hope is the treasure
our hearts cannot lose.
Like a torch we pass down
to each, one by one.
To mothers as daughters
and fathers as sons,
a hope burning brightly,
a steady flame fast,
the strength of our future
through hope from our past.
We pass on these ways
without saying a word
as actions speak louder
and clearly are heard.
The examples are set
by the actions we choose,
without even thinking
of what we could lose
What is the worth
in the willing to give?
What is the point
of our purpose to live?
We give with the hope
of a better tomorrow.
To give up our hope
were are certain for sorrow
What is the cost
when we won't even try?
To give up our hope
and eventually die?
We break the connections
that keep us in sync,
a game of survival
that's lived on the brink.
All things find death
in the journey of life.
Hope is the light
through the darkness of strife.
We give and we gain,
give up and we lose.
What we will give
shapes the world that we choose.
- Jeannie Minor
I turned to my wife
With desire in my eyes
And my loins a little disjointed
Forestalling sin,
She asked with no grin,
¨Kind sir, do you have an appointment?¨
You'll need to make an appointment
If you wanna have a shot at love
I was having a chat
With a sweet bureaucrat
Whose curves nature had appointed
The moment seemed right
When up came the red light
And a billboard reading, ¨Make your appointment¨
In the future, you'll need an appointment
For love, for kindness, for care
Some justice of the peace
Will preside your release
Or decide on your fate of despair
In time we'll be damned
To a hostile land
Ruled by gods we ourselves anointed
Hey, you get what you give
So don't ---- where you live --
Or at least not without an appointment.
I've seen how mean
You treat others.
You're well known for stepping
On the necks of those
You deem beneath you.
You've conveniently forgotten
Laughing
Over many a misfortune,
Mine included.
So legendary is
Your cruel nature
And peacock-like arrogance.
You carry a baffling air
Of invincibility.
You think yourself
Infallible; better than the rest.
Or are you? Now I watch you
Slip deservedly
On a banana peel of poetic justice
With laughter
In my eyes. You hear folks
You've trampled upon clap,
And you don't like that?
Well, what did you expect?
I hate to admit
I feel no guilt or pity
For you and your troubles
As you've taught all and sundry
One true thing;
You get what you give.

The energy you put out
Is what you get in return
Although this is a lesson
Some will never learn
There are those who
Murder, steal and lie
Their lives are chaotic
And they’re left wondering why.
Some are getting in trouble
Always looking and trying
Then defying authority,
getting shot and dying
Loved ones left behind
Heartbroken and crying
Their stories being twisted
By the media’s lying
When all it would take
Is to be reasonable and collective
Rather than being resistant
Angry, and selective
When faced with authority
Just be calm and compliant
Rather than being mad,
Aggressive and defiant
When you are living a life
Full of love and hope
It makes life better
much easier to cope
With what life throws at you
No matter what it may be
With each challenge in life
the bigger picture you'll see
Do your actions support
The life that you truly want to live?
Are you emitting the energy
That you really want to give?
The energy you bring in
Is the energy you put out
Getting what you give
Its what life is all about
(own title: Get What You give)
You need me
I am well aware of that
You love me
and in your own way, you show me that
but your way is not necessarily my way
If you want the real me
don't condescend to me
and don't put down in me
the things that define me
Accept my flaws
Don't try to tell me how I NEED to be
Accept me for who I am . . .
as I do you
Hold me in the night
Don't make me ask for that
If you see me crying. . . open your eyes
and realize why-
then hold me even tighter
If you do these things,
you'll then get back from me
a love that is real.

Winter’s releasing us from its perpetually gray and gloomy grip.
Who can study in their room, on a beautiful spring afternoon?
Azaleas assail ya, with champagne petals of bubblegum fuchsias,
they blush in near neon reflection, with a mathematical, fractal perfection.
Courtyards that were once dark and uninviting, frosty scenes,
sport impromptu manicured carpets, of flawless, vibrant greens.
Dogwoods explode, abruptly overnight, with peony, cherry blossom whites
they blush like brides on parade, they sachet, swaying with flag-like bouquets.
Ordinary maples become emerald queens by unfurling avocado, hunter and chartreuse leaves,
accented with vibrant electric limes and honeydews, as if to say, ‘Hey, we too can prance and please.’
New life stretches, almost yawning, in the seemingly reborn sun, insects hum as they cultivate,
birds flit excitedly, as if to say, ‘Why’re you inside? Come out and play - why do you even hesitate?’
I know there’s something in spring that’s irresistible, pheromonal, hormonal, surfeit and emotional.
Is it the solar zenith angle or the sun’s declination that produces these delightful inclinations?

Songs for this:
‘New World Coming’ by Cass Elliot
‘You get what you give’ by New Radicals
‘’Funky Galileo’ by Sure sure
I say the wrong thing
I truly appreciate the words, but there are never enough.
There are never enough words; there are never enough.
My body aches for understanding,
But I have no knowledge of so much stuff.
You get what you give out, so I deserve nothing less.
You get what you put into it,
So take what you need to find from inside my head.
You do things you like, but I won’t do that.
I would give you my opinion, if I could only take it back.
If I read what you write and it is something I like,
You might find something in my words,
That just does not sound right.
I have no foresight, just a vague idea.
I am just a fool, so misunderstood, so never too clear.
I can write, but I cannot speak.
I know you hear, but my intentions you cannot see.
Every screaming piece of me, is only shouting out for peace!
I cannot meet your expectations,
Nor can I quote the Romantics.
I cannot know just what you want from me;
I can only give you, all of this.
Every single part of me, I throw this down at your feet
And all I ask is that you please understand that I come in peace.

My fondest wish this Christmas
Is for all who read this poem
To believe in Santa Clause again
And truly get to know him.
He’s not just a childhood dream
He’s a feeling in your heart
A show of love for all mankind
Of which we play a part
So be a child once again
And in Santa Clause believe
Give the gift of love my friend
And that gift you will receive
The true meaning of Christmas
Is not in gifts we receive or give
It’s in how we treat one another
Each day we’re blessed to live
The real lesson of Christmas
Is one we all should learn
Treat others with kindness and acceptance
And you’ll get what you give in return
Christmas is a magical time
To spread some holiday cheer
But we should keep that spirit in our heart
Each and every day of the year
Family and Friends are like Christmas ornaments
Hanging on your Christmas tree of life
They decorate your best of days
And shine light on your darkest days of strife
The spirit of Christmas past
Keep alive in your hearts and minds
Remember loved ones no longer with us
Precious good memories there to find
The spirit of Christmas present
Is not in the presents that you buy
The price of the gift is love
A cost that is never too high
The spirit of Christmas future
Is not a foreboding shade
It’s spending time with family and friends
More good memories to be made
The fruit of the spirit of Christmas
Is to give each other a chance
To move to the beat of their own drum
And in the world together join the dance
Remember that Jesus is the real reason
That we have Christmas from the start
He is why we celebrate the season
So always keep Jesus in your heart
My wish for you this Christmas
Is peace, joy, good health and love
And remember family and friends
Are gifts received from God above
So in the spirit of the season
And spreading holiday cheer
Merry Christmas to my family and friends
And a very Happy New Year
It is said ‘Harm none do what you will.’
Get what you give should be expected;
Then why do some become parasites
wearing down warm welcome mats?
How are they able to sleep at night
making so cringey a decision?
Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;
A smile morphs into manipulation,
would you like that done to you?
It doesn’t take religion to see
the benefits of human decency.
Tap, take, and leave the well dry
is not how you should treat a person;
No matter how this trend is escalating
put bluntly it’s a form of abuse;
Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;
Trailblazer’s feet remain inflamed
setting a fire where there was none;
Innate desire to pay blessings forward
that behavior should be the norm;
Basic practice includes gold conduct,
we all are capable of being honest;
Loyalty, kindness,and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat.
