Life is about giving
back instead of taking.
I took a lot all my life,
apathetic and selfish.
When I see people today,
they don't look like marks.
I don't think about what I
can take from them.
They are God's handiwork.
Life is strange and short.
I couldn't have caused this
inner transition.
I always subscribed to
morality in theory.
Thank God,
the blind still receives sight.
Sometimes, acquaintances will say
that I've grown soft
as they turn to green jello, right
before my eyes.

Wonderfully written. And the irony on the green jello bit, right?!?! Well done, my friend!

You are welcome.
A huge sense of gratitude, just what I love, I made me, I made who I am, and I too give back because it makes me feel happy.
So powerful joyful and honest.
