Poem
They noticed from the time when they were young…from before they all could speak…their father’s way of looking at the world was different…some would say…unique. Every morning he’d open the front door…look out over the land and to the sky above…then he’d turn around and say… “Today…children…it looks a lot like love.” Rain and shine, good and bad he believed this is the world as God designed it… "But she also filled it up with love." He’d say, "And it’s up to us to find it!” Which is why every day he was on the lookout for the love he constantly spoke of… and every day, wherever he went, he would call attention to that love. He’d point out a smile exchanged by strangers…watching anybody share…his children were amazed…how he’d find love anywhere. He’d show them a mother comforting a crying baby…a family holding hands…and slowly the more love that he’d show them…they more they came to understand. Once they learned this lesson…once they knew what they were looking for…they began to find love in places where they hadn’t noticed it before. It showed up at family dinners, good night kisses in their rooms…it showed up in the rain that helped the flowers bloom. It showed up in people helping other people…in a wave to someone they didn't know. It showed up anywhere they happened to be…and anywhere they’d go The more they began to see love in their life and in the world around them the more they began to understand how love envelopes and surrounds them. Thanks to their father’s teachings…and those seeds of love he’d sown.. they learned how love makes every little thing in life…glow…with a beauty all its own Which is why their own children…from before they all could speak… saw their parent’s way of looking at the world as different…some would say…unique. When every morning they open their front door… look out over the land and to the sky above… then then turn around and say… “Today…children…it looks a lot like love.”
