A Match Made In Heaven

As the zoo opened its doors all the kids ran through the gate they wanted to see the one-legged chimp who hopped with a gait Although he had difficulty getting around, he never did sit idle though he chatted with the chimps it was the gorilla his true idol. Truth be told I think what drew him was his pungent musky scent and the way he shared his food, though he didn't have a cent. The gorilla gave him bamboo shoots because he knew that it was love he needed, that was nothing new Needless to say, where the chimp went the gorilla went too and yes, they were definitely a match made in heaven those two.

This is darling. You know, no matter how great the poem is that I think I am writing, when the cat jumps on my lap, on my keyboard, all stops for affectionate petting. The expression of love is far greater than any philosophy or even prayer. Active love, in the moment, is the oxygen of God's immortal breath expressing.

Isn't it amazing how sharing/caring touches our hearts? Our situation is so bad that sometimes when I offer my bamboo shoots, a gorilla looks at me with suspicion. Sweet poem! Elizabeth
