For Those Who Love Love

For those who love love Put up your hands Wow! There sure are a bunch of you guys I knew there was a lot of you But this is totally amazing Saw one person who didn't raise their hand But she was holding a bag of groceries in one arm And a sweet wee babe in the other But I did hear her yell, “I do!” So if everybody loves love Then how come there's still so much strife Is it because we get all wrapped up in stuff Superficial stuff that we shouldn't give a hoot about But because of all the negativity present Small things tend to annoy us And when they all add up They become a difficult mountain to climb Take heart all my dear dear friends I have the answer... attitude! Yep, it's as simple as that so give it a shot And let this old guy know How it all works out for you!

another lovely and thoughtful creation, Jack. I look forward each day to reading your words. They're special to me. You ponder the question, 'if there's love, then why's there so much strife...' I sometimes wonder, too, why I become annoyed with little things. It's usually because of (as you aptly said) my attitude. Am faving this and will read it when I need a gentle reminder. Thanks for your words and spirit, Sara

My dear Sara... I await your positive words to my poetry every day! You are a true inspiration to me! We are on the same wavelength... I find it amazing that we could adopt such a similar outlook on life! As I react everyday once again your approach is so similar to mine it's really uncanny! xxx
