I Like To Think

I like to think that love
is Universal – even little
green men, on boggy worlds
having such fond capacity

like to think that stars
share brilliance affectionately,
giving an extra beam, here and there,
to a fellow where a twinkle lagging

like to think, that vagabond comets,
trade heartfelt sonnets in the passing

like to think that you would love me
forever...even if I wasn't so
poetically cute and clever:)

Hope in these lines i read, evidence of an Eternal seed; planted not by wisedom of this earth Rather by virtue, rooted in heavenly worth! Such faith though shaken as a reed.', in the River of our priomise does thrive and feed.!
