Giving is admirable, but we must learn to receive in order to allow others to give too. Very heartfelt piece... and thanks for reviewing "grass."

Namaste my friend,
Rose :-)

It's good to see you have made it out alive, Tony...it could've gotten ugly. This writing is very full and focused well. Thank you for sharing this moment. On the other hand perhaps this was the relationship to make you feel comfort and satisfaction with receiving love. I hope you can have such a love, and I hope I can have it too. Thanks, again for the reveal. Enjoy creating, friend....

That's very nice. It's always better to give than to receive. In the end you'll gain so much more. Happy Holiday Tony.

Very heartfelt Tony and filled with honesty!
An interesting poem, yet Paul trust God to
lead and to guide you! May the joy of Christmas
be yours, and may God grant to hope for each
new day! Merry Christmas Tony may the Lord be
with you!


Much Love,
Margaret

Tony,
Your poetry reminds me of the song, THE ROSE.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

Love is always a risk, my friend. Pray about it and let God lead your heart.

Blessings always,
~Linda

I like the way you honestly share the way you feel inside via your verses, Tony. I would take a chance on love. Take care. Love and best wishes,

In Reference to this poem, I fully understand how you feel about taking. In fact it is always better to be on the giving than on the receiving end. Nice Poem. Love Emile

Dear Anthony, first: I agree with you when you say in your comment: "There is so much going on with this new world order". My experience tells me that those who plan evil will fall right into it. That's why I say. "Patience". Love Emile

You must take for without it giving is incomplete. An honest and thought provoking pen Tony. Christmas Blessings to you My Friend

Dear Tony, Very well expressed! I am a victum of a battered childhood. I think I did alright. It does no good to focus on the past, just learn from it and move on. Inner strength is what we all need. Strong strenghth is with The Lord. Otherwise your thoughts will be controlled by man. I am sorry but man really S_____!

For the love of Christ. I hope you have a Christ Filled Christmas.

A very complex, yet lovely piece.

This is a well written piece.take care

No pain no gain is what my father used to say to me. I have fallen down so many times that I'm used to the pain. My heart is always open even though it's been broken a hundred times. Life is about giving and receiving. Everyone needs a little of both to be happy. You deserve both Tony! It might hurt but if you don't take a chance you might miss out on the best moments of your life. You can be loved but you have to open your heart and not be afaid of the pain. Excellent poem!! Your friend,~ Chessly

....we must live in the moment, follow our hearts,,,will one be hurt?..possibly, but not necessarily...life huh? great poem Tony!

Interesting thoughts, Tony. But seriously, if it's given to you willing then it is a gift from God and should be accepted (taken) with sincere thanks. May God bless and I pray you have Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
