Giving

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: Giving.

everything you are
seep with tender emotions
spread among us like

wildfire of life
small gestures of warmth
makes our heart smile

drench your mind in this
moment of real happiness
give only yourself

Ah, yes. How beautiful. That last stanza wraps up the bouquet you offer and makes of it a beautiful gift, indeed. Thanks for this poem. God bless.

yes!! no matter what we tangibly give, what matters is the giving of ourselves.

Indeed we tend to focus on giving things rather than ourselves. Some sort of stinginess or self defense? I am not sure.
Lovely thoughts.
