Give it away

I have many regrets

But not walking down the aisle isn't one of them

If having children out of wedlock is a sin

Then I'm a sinner indeed

And yet the blossoms of my womb were a gift from God

One son distanced himself without looking back

My other son is carrying me through the darkening hours of life

Thus, I pray that blessings are showered upon him & his wife...

 

A life without love isn't worth living, for love is the way

Forgiveness is unshackling oneself from what the eye can't see

Thus, I forgive it all, pray, forgive my misgivings of plenty...

 

I never held back on love, but forgot to love myself

An empath's life isn't easy, feeling it all, the good & not so good

I'm a hermit dwelling in the cave of my heart---

Give, and give some more, love and love some more

Don't leave compassion tucked away in your pocket

Let kindness rejoice alongside springtides' euphonious song

It's never too late to apologise, but don't leave it too long...

 

I thought I'd live to see my hair sprinkled with grey

Gratitude is free, thus it costs nothing to give it away...

Notes

Somebody messaged me advising me to take this down as it's

too personal..I give thanks for their concern, thank you.

I am sorry if it is. So asked my son for his opinion. He said post it Mom. Really, it's all about Loving kindness, etc..

Life is personal until personhood is fully transcended..

Thank you for reading...
