I Want To Know What Love Is - Co-Written With Carolyn Devonshire

I heard the song and wanted to know what love is, so I turned to James The Soup's king of romance knows it means more than just flirtatious games Dedication absorbed with love, for to feel it for the very first time The unification of two must gel like words in a poetry rhyme This, James told me, and we explored the meaning much further Many types of love, including a child and father Family life is important, reciprocation leads the way Whether blood, fostered or taken on, it's loves bond that says We see an elderly couple walking hand-in-hand This is but one type of love that many years withstands For so many fall by the wayside, taking different forks on life's roads Where a previously blossomed love has journeyed into destructs corrode The deep affection felt for those whom we call our friends Nestles deep within our hearts, a bond that never ends This we must truly cherish in a world going from day to day It does not matter where we come from, we are part of earths bouquet Love knows no bounds and is shared with all humanity One that respects each race and religion’s dignity ~*~ Co-Written with Carolyn Devonshire ~*~

James, the sponsor says she doesn't want names on our poems. Probably too late to change it now though. It really was a pleasure working on this with you! Love, Carolyn

James, it was fun working on this entry for the contest with you. You may need to include the fact it was a co-write for it to be acceptable. Thanks so much for your help. I will be going home Wednesday! Love, carolyn
