Love Poem: Usefulness

Usefulness

All gifts must be given to sustain their usefulness.
Like blood, life is in the flow, if not flowing, blood dries and dies.
Movement, the constant changing, sustains the life of all living entities of creation.

The Sun gives energy that sustains life on Earth.
It renews itself every night by sharing the job
of lighting the Earth with the Moon.
This enables it to burn in full force in all its brilliance each morning.

As humans, we are given gifts, not to possess, but to give or 
share with others.
If not given are shared, the gift loses its source of power and dies.
Like love that is not given or shared dies within us.

Like God’s first gift to man, the breath of life, man can share this gift
through the propagation of mankind.
The more adaptable we become to change, the more we are given.
Sharing our gifts of life, love, and awareness with others
gives us our purpose in life.
