Love Is Life Itself

One can tell by the fields of clover That adorns the hillside The scent of jasmine, the taste of honey We only need stop And observe all the wonders of the world To realize how much we have to be thankful for The soft warm breeze of a summer morning The snow that covers the trees and rooftops Like a cozy warm blanket Curling up with a good book on a rainy day A puppy who's over-the-top happy To see you when you return home A symphony by Mozart caressing your ears The purring of a kitten The shimmering sunlight on the lake The first robin of spring All these things and many many more Make us realize what a wonderful place This old world is and will always be Love is life itself! © Jack Ellison 2014

Don't forget... Love is writing a poem shared with all. Dragon agrees, Especially if it's about him! Knew that was coming didn't you!... Love is finding a 4 leaf clover while searching with the kids. Eating fresh strawberries picked straight from the garden. Juicy peaches picked off a tree. Cuddling a baby kitten or puppy... Walking on a chilly morning and letting Dragon warm the air around you. Isn't he sweet!... And reading Jack's poems to Dragon and his penguins. Couldn't leave that out! LOL
