To receive love
you’ve got to give love
open your heart
and love somebody
before it’s too late.
The magic of love
comes from the freedom
of giving it
and watching it multiply
in so many little ways.
When you’re just receiving
and not replicating by giving
or counting who gave most,
the joy of the free gift of love
will remain consistently lost to you.

When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
She is amazing at describing love and life in her poems. She creates such beautiful images with her words. Truly, she is a talented writer and I’m so excited to have her poetry book and to continue reading through it.

I do agree. See the sea of Galilee and the dead sea. The sea of Galilee gives what it receives and lives. Because the Dead sea swallows what it receives, it is dead.
