Loss and Gain

We seem to pick and choose our reflections

The needs of others are not always convenient

They interfere with our lives and schedules

Causing some minor inconveniences to our routines

Yet the reflection of when we were needy can change our perspective

Perhaps we received a reprieve or break in our life

Or even if we didn’t……

Remember the feelings of need and our own unique abilities to give

The perspective of our day, life and world can change when we open our hearts to others

Hatred and bias are such heavy burdens

While love and compassion almost make us float

Every day we can give and receive

Doing so makesour world flourish

And our memories of loss and gain become warm and comforting
