What is this state that man calls Love? Not the same as our God above, for no resemblance does it bear, to the God we seek in our prayer. “God is Love”, the only true source. So, here’s the point of this discourse. What man calls love is not from God, let’s see what’s revealed as I prod. In youth man’s love is mostly lust, doomed to fail without a deep trust. Young adults don’t do much better. Wanting things done, to the letter. As we age more kindness we show, There’s still more room for love to grow. Slowly it begins to appear. Two become one, the signs are clear. We’re thankful to God for all His care, As He made us one from a pair. Seeking Truth and Love from the start, true love came from Him through our heart. We allow love through us each day, Man’s love changed to loving His way. His perfect Love will never fail. It’s at the top of any scale. So, man’s love is not the real deal, It’s much bigger than just a thrill. True Love’s not man’s, I hope you know. With opened hearts God’s Love will flow.

This is great Bill from top to bottom. Perfect rhyme and rhythm plus a super message. I remember a women's group at church where this woman complained there was no affection in her marriage. Everyone thought she was talking about sex until she said "There is a big difference between sex and affection. I totally agree. Sex without affection would be like sleeping with a bear. what the world needs is L O V E . Good job here. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB

That's certainly true, Judy, there is a big difference between sex and affection. Sex is optional late in life, but affection is a bigger need as we advance in age. What the world needs now is more Love. More God! Have a pleasant evening, my friend. Hugs, Bill

such wise words within your poem. Indeed the love we perceive as love is small compared to God's love. Knowing and embracing that reality makes us all potentially instruments of God's love. Your words struck a chord with me and inspired me this morning. hugs & love, eastside writing bear

There is no greater love than God's. Only by following his teachings do we come anywhere near in understanding true love. Tom

Yes, I remember those years, lol. That was a wild movie when it came out. Some very weird characters. There's that wit I love. Bill

It's the season to celebrate Holy things so I wrote a couple of spiritual poems. I know they get controversial sometimes. It is what it is. Thanks for commenting, Tom. I know you know what I'm talking about. Have a pleasant evening, my friend. Bill

Excellent poem talking about God's love and comparing it's failings to lust or wanting things done perfect. Providing an example of what God's love is is pretty difficult when a person doesn't know God Himself.

Very true, Miranda. In general, to that person, it's everything you think is too good to be true. (But is) Have a great week, my friend. Bill
