Giving

Love's barbed hook and line

happiness increase

Fish never mine

only catch and release

Tarnished glory in a trumpet's sound

Wrinkled honor in a ribbon

In fame faux valor found

Heroes names go unwritten

Inventor of fire's long gone smoke

Created words melted into history

Alphabet written on tablets now broke

Christ from Judas taking victory

And we become more composed after each lesson... life, reality and wisdom... all got their equal place in this thought-provoking write!

Thank you Mou. I would hope so. Sometimes I wonder if we do learn from our experience. I appreciate your most encouraging words.

Great metaphor and very relatable.

Thanks Thomas I appreciate the review and your comment is valued

we just borrow love, we never really own it.
And if we are not careful...as we remove the hook...the fish will slip out of our hands and we will be alone again...
I wonder if Christ had made it Judas' fate to kiss him and start the ball rolling...

there seems to be a purpose to everything...we get no hint until it plays out.
