What Is Love?

Is it the cinders of hope? Is it the life which wheezes unfailingly? Is it the enduring ,crimson tears? Is it the blue streamlet which sings like the starry sea? Is it the bloodstained rivulet which whistles unflaggingly? Is it a grey happiness? Is it an unfettered joy of a moonless eternity? Is it the reddish star which pours out a green ink? Is it the death which flutters its wings? Is it the withered lily which shines like the turbulent brook? Is it the flaming hope of otherness? \ I believe the most important thing in our life is to love God profoundly, our fellow man unselfhishly ,and Gods' creatures unflaggingly.

Good one. I agree with the last stanza, but we are human, and we do fail at times. Thanks for sharing this one with us. I hope this has been a great Easter Sunday for you and your family. Sara K
