Precious Things by Sonia F Stevens

The most precious things cannot be demanded for.

The most wonderful and precious things in life are given.

It is in that gift of giving which has the presents to mean the most.

If you demand gifts and ask for things, which are not to be given

You forgot that you never earned them or earned respect.

Earning things has more value, that no one can erase that value to you.

People may steel things, and say they gain things, but if they steel things which have value to only you. There is no cost, which can ever replace them. But inside your heart. The memories are there. No one can take away your own heart.

Turn it around

Even upside down

Follow your heart

To where ever it is bound

Let your own life be lifted

Lifted high off the ground.

Symbol is only a symbol

People can make a symbol recognise and give it power

Ideas have not a feeling

Ideas do not love or hate

Ideas cannot love or have anger or even physical touch to you

The idea can live through time and through you.

I miss the touch and caress

The kiss of that man

I miss the man who gave life

And thought of the idea.

Was I so wrong to tell the truth

I told the truth was that so selfish

Is my integrity sells for so little but it’s all I really have

It is the very last piece of each of us, which we really have

It is that which sets us a part and unique for ourselves.
