Carolyn Devonshire; Poetry Soup Pals. Love

Carolyn Devonshire U.S.A. Poetess and Contest Sponsor. I Think She Does Both Well. And here is one of the Great Voices in The History of American Popular Music to Amplify that Thought... Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Nat King Cole. LOVE ( Sung to the tune LOVE by Nat King Cole.) L is for the LIFE you lead each day. O is OFTEN for the words you say. V is VERVE that you bring to the or-din-ary E is EFFERVESCENCE- summing up your special story. and... LOVE is something that is truly you. LOVE is something that is warm and new. LOVE will test-i-fy that what you have, I can't deny that LOVE resides right there in YOU. L is for the LIGHT that burns in you. O says OR-DIN-ARY words won't do. V is for the VOICE that speaks in poetry E is ELEGANCE in how you craft each word to be. and.. LOVE is something that resides in you. LOVE is constantly so warm and new. LOVE will cert-i-fy that what you have, no one can buy for LOVE is simply, truly YOU. ( All right, boys, hit it, yeah...) L is LESSONS that you teach to me. O is OFTEN what you let me see. V are VIRTUES that I can't begin listing here. E is ELAN that I can't resist, so let's be clear. that... LOVE is just the word to say to you. LOVE describes the way we think of you. LOVE will ver-i-fy that what you have, I can't deny, yes, LOVE resides right there in YOU. LOVE resides right there in YOU. ( one more time.) LOVE resides right there in YOU!

You have written a beautiful tribute for a beautiful person...very nice, Gerard. By the way, I am going to try to start commenting again. I have just been too weepy these past three months…commenting became difficult. I do enjoy reading your wonderful poetry, though. And I appreciate your strengths. Thanks for understanding. God be with you. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Wow! Thanks so much, Gerard! This fits perfectly to the melody and I'm so delighted. My birthday is Wednesday and this is my first (and undoubtedly the best) gift. It goes to my favorites, of course. Much love always to the little boy who walked the beaches of Manasquan, Carolyn
