Exchange of Hearts

Do you sometimes feel as though you are the only one giving in relationships, be they  familial or collegial? The one-sidedness is an identifiable feeling. 

Everyone likes to see their efforts and sacrifices acknowledged. No one likes to feel like what they do doesn’t count; reciprocity is necessary.

Reciprocity provides the balance necessary in relationships and prevents feelings of being shortchanged. It builds trust, binds people together and provides communication channels – when we reciprocate each other by giving gifts, for example, there’s actually something to talk about. Many would agree that reciprocity resolves conflicts.

A healthy exchange of hearts and minds develops us in many ways. Enjoy these free verses.



Exchange 

Of hearts 

And minds

Two equals

One



Exchange 

Of hearts

One hand 

Over each

In sync



Exchange 

Of hearts

Joins two



Exchanging 

Hearts

No 

Cracks.
