Proverbs : [34] For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. [35] He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

How can I take from your hand
Any gift,
Can I make you understand
Given and then retaken,
All your gifts
The meanings are now reshaping
To things I sure you don’t mean
In giving,
So I must be cruel and mean
To be sure there’s no second
Returning,
No matter your new intent
Of giving,
I can’t make you understand.

Gloom,
I'm sure there would be a second and third returning when you give gifts like this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Thank you, Kethry
For your praise, but I believe you don’t understand the poem,
I was not giving a gift, but refusing a gift.
Some times things given, no matter how well meaning
Can not be accepted.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Aszard, this is so very true, sweet friend, even when there is charity in ones heart, we must always be conscientious and accept only the gifts that really are meaningful! (sigh) This is sooooo wonderfully said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Aszard, thank you for sharing!
