FORTUNATE

I seek no fortune
but I am fortunate
to give, and feel love,
I will not trade love
for wealth, or health,
we all must leave,

with nothing up
my sleeves,
I am free to express,
I pray, with humble
finesse,

we see,
we all breathe,
but most never live,
better, we give than
receive, I believe
we love, to forgive,

and words to me,
are so addictive,
they are the air I breathe.

part of loving is being able to forgive those who trespass against us in some way.
in last line did you mean
"they"?
when we die we can't take fortune in terms of wealth with us...but...we take fortune in terms of friends...
that is a truth...
really like this poem.

Not certain of the meaning of "we love, to forgive."

[Rene Velez]

Really? Ever love someone enough to forgive them no matter what they do? Would you do it for your child? No grudges? Honestly I think it's a dumb question. But I forgive you...
