More
by Monetta Wilson
I used to think
that the way to keep something you loved
was to hold on and never let go.
I used to think
that if you wanted something
you went after it at all costs.
I used to think
that life was about getting and keeping,
then getting and keeping more.
I’ve since grown older,
and wiser.
I now know better.
I know
that the way to hold on to something,
is to let it go.
I know
that the way to get something
is to make space for it.
I know
that life is about love and giving
and loving and living.
Now,
I live and love
and give and let go.
I find,
I’ve gotten more
and kept more this way.
So I say,
live and love,
and give
and let go.
You just might find,
when you look
you have More.
