Notes About The Poem

" LOVE'S ESSENCE " MY PHOTO,  ©

Defining Love's Essence

All of Man's
philosophy-literature and
poetry 
has failed to define love

but

a single act of sacrifice
succeeded in designating its
essence   
without ever uttering a single
word! *

* Dedicated to all those people who have sacrificed 
their lives for others to live during coronavirus crisis!

Well said Demetrios, so many sacrifice their own safety for others- may God bless them- two nurses died yesterday, both in their 30's - they had children- was so sad- I pray for them all. Hugs xxxx
