The joy of giving



The joy of giving
Brings a peaceful smile and a
Sense of contentment


Sense of contentment
Lies in fulfilling someone’s
Cherished wish and dreams

`
Cherished wish and dreams
Keep hopes alight, offering
A new horizon

  4. Ah, but the question is: Who will fulfill YOUR dreams and wishes?

    Would you please consider using only comment moderation and forgetting about Blogger's new, and very-difficult-to-read word verification? My eyes will thank you, and, honestly, you really don't need both. It's overkill. Thanks again.

  10. Tarang, this is lovely. I like your inspirational line in "A new horizon" ... although, might I suggest in keeping with the ABC CDE EFA form SiS requested ... change A new horizon to your first line The joy of giving! Here is my Day 23.
    Happy Thursday!

  11. I like the joy of giving...But if you don't mind, since we are following a pattern ~

    Tweak the last line to:

    Cherished wish and dreams
    Keep hopes alight, offering
    The joy of giving (same as the first line)

    Happy day :-)

  12. @ Vidya: Thank you so much!:)

    @ Becca & Grace: I wanted to repeat the first line in order to maintain the pattern but don't you think it will lose its meaning? I thought so that’s why I preferred “A new horizon”

    Thank you so much for your suggestions and such nice comments!:)
    Have a nice day:)
