Give, Love, Communicate

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Never take for granted your influence on all.

Friday, January 30, 2004

give, not take

take what is given

but do not take what is not shared

don't covet

share what is meaningful

but do not share what is meaningless

communicate, don't preach

understand both sides

but do not close your mind

live,  don't coast

make your life an adventure but do not make unnecessary trips

smile, don't frown

be happy that you exist but do not make others wish you did not love

don't push, give

share, communicate, live,

smile with love

but never take for granted your influence on all.

"be happy that you exist
but do not make others wish you did not"

Michael, I found these two lines to say the most and mean the most to me at this time, but they all have great meaning, you sure you are not a philosopher from another time? Hey, you are in Florida, can you send any amount of heat north, pretty please with sugar on it!?
Good to see a write from you, lets see more! Peace, Ed & rufuz (woof)
