 This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your item. Great work, Paul. You are quite the writer!  I love the mission of this statement item. How sweet it would be if everyone thinks of making other people happy. ...If they put aside any greed to freely give to others, without thinking of themselves. As always with most of your writings, I feel that there are deep meanings behind this one. For example, for me...I'm finding it a bit confusing to understand what the 'gifts of life' exactly mean. I've always thought that term was given to a person bringing a child into the world, but I'm very sure that's not what you meant. Is this meant for life in general, or would it be something for WDC...I constantly spend oddles of gift points - certainly much, much more than I could ever get in return -- for gifts or otherwise. I do the same in 'real life', though I'm certainly not a rich person. I guess some people are mostly 'givers', while others might be mostly 'receivers'. I think I might have liked a stanza of examples to follow each stanza of point. Perhaps that's just a 'Maryann' thing, as I enjoy clarity so much. Then, we'd be sure of the meanings behind what you are trying to get across. It's not always fair that people who have 'plenty', as you mentioned in your poem, should be expected to give 'without reservation' to everyone. Unfortunately, that's usually the case because they are the 'givers', while others are the 'receivers'. Sadly, many receivers need to be motivated instead of waiting for people to do things for them. Good for you for having a big heart to give 'no matter the toil'. I have two more thoughts which I'd like to point out... Why is the entire poem italicized? I think you would have given a nice touch with color or font, rather than having it be italicized. Second...Why do you have the name of a random group at the end of the poem? I wondered if you used the wrong image by mistake, or if perhaps the poem was relevant to that group. For instance, maybe it was for a contest. If that was the case, and if the contest is still running, you might add a link to the contest or at least mention what the prompt was.   -Write on!
