Gifts of Life


Many gifts of Life to keep 

With the love that we reap 

Often an abundance, to our dismay 

Inspiring reflection that runs deep 

 

Treats, hard to store in a keep 

To loved ones, it seeps 

Never staying at bay 

Gifts of Life to keep 

 

At dVerse, Kim prompted us to write a quadrille, poem of 44 words, using the word keep.

    The repetition of the prompt word keeps this poem focused and emphasises the message. As Dwight said, life and love are wonderful gifts to keep.

    We cannot store everything in the end… it doesn’t work
