Who puts the meaning
into the gift – is it the
giver or receiver?
I made this for you.
I wrote this poem for you,
whether you want it or not.

I used to be a receiver, now I’m mostly a giver.

Sometimes I think a poem like this feels a little dashed off, and this one did write itself quickly. On reflection though, I think I managed to say exactly what I wanted within it’s few lines and provide a little food for thought.
