Today's poetry prompt was to write a poem based on a song, and I feel uninspired. Writing off of someone else's work is hard for me. I complained about the task at supper and Ruth reminded me that I could put a personal slant on a song that I feel says it's message well already - so I'll keep it simple and write from Kate Wolf's Give Yourself to Love

Reminder

I give myself to love
for love is what I'm after.
Sometimes I forget when
tears drown out the laughter.
I give myself to love
for love is what I'm after.

I am actually thankful for the prompt this weekend. I feel the waves of suffering and anxiety around me and feel shaky - but the reminder is in the song, just keep giving myself to love.
