Every Giver Needs A Taker ~*Marge Tindal*~ Let me love you tenderly beneath the pale moonlight Hold you until the dawn breaks after a loving night Let me listen to you as the story of your life unfolds Sharing all your dreams helping you realize your goals Let me be your partner in front of the crowd Cheering you to victory standing oh, so proud Let me rub your shoulders at the end of a weary day Feed you your favorite meal Kneel with you to pray Every giver needs a taker This is who I choose to be Giving you my love knowing you treat it tenderly ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge~ The receiver of this precious gift will have riches beyond compare my friend. Wonderful writing!! I think you've said it all.  Lone Wolf Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Martie~ Being a giver just comes so easily. Thank you, my friend. LoneWolf~ Thanks, hon. I'm sure you noticed that giver and taker have no gender restrictions. It's whatever fits best. I like to think the 'gift' is in the giving. You're a sweetie. ButterfliesDC~ Being a giver has rewards that are far beyond measure. Being a taker has pleasures likewise. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Every giver needs a taker That's the only way to go Every bisquit needs a baker Or it's only so much dough. Every oat must have a Quaker Or a breakfast is so-so Every salt needs its own shaker If it wants to have the flow. Every lawn must have a raker Or it doesn't look too well Every sleeper needs a waker Or he'll never hear the bell. Every human needs a Maker He can pray to every nigh Every giver needs a taker Marge, you said it all just right! |

Balladeer~ Each poem needs a read and you sure fill the need ! Every nut needs a shell and you wear yours so well ! *Now ... about that 'raker' position - send resume quickly ! Oh, and I'd like the grass a little lower if you could bring your mower !  Melissa~ What a genuinely sweet, sweet reply. *Hugs* from my heart to yours. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, I'll gladly take a poem like this! In turn, I'll be the giver when I post my next poem (whenever that will be!). Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Your words are pure truth, Marge....I can't imagine having no one to take what I give. ______________________________ If ya live to give, If no one taketh you are forsaketh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You said it, as ever, with style. Lovely poem, Marge!! Love and hugs, Your Lil' Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Marge..... You're so right....there cannot be giving without taking, and we all choose which to be, I think. I loved your work, and the feelings of mutual sharing spoke to me.........looking forward to more....... The arts wash away from the soul...the dust of everyday life-----Picasso |

You have to give love before it comes back to you...even if you start out giving these few words...love started for me with a reply to a post...amazing isnt it? |
