**"To Receive"**

To receive is to open a heart’s gate,

To embrace the unknown, to trust fate,

In the gift of a touch, a smile, a word,

With open hands and eyes that see,

To accept what life and kindness decree,

Whether gifts of joy or lessons deep,

To receive is to honor the flow,

Of blessings that come and go,

In the tender catch of the falling fall.

In every gift, let love be found,

For in the act of giving and taking,

We find the truth that’s always waking.
