It's Love Sweet Love

What makes the world go round and round It's elementary my good friend Love and compassion for all other dear souls And friendships on which we depend Think of a world without true love To share in those moments in life Those good times when everything's going your way Or to help us through times of strife This world can be a real cold place Without that someone beside you To help you through life's trials and tribulations With a love that is tried and true Those that know this real kind of love Are the fortunate ones no doubt They know the formula that makes this world turn They know what this life's all about If someone asks you your secret Answer love everlasting love Since the very first time these words were spoken I love you my sweet turtle dove As you can see it's love sweet love That makes this old world go around It's the reason we're here, reason for living To this age old custom we're bound © Jack Ellison 2014

You are not only a poet and a philosopher but also the product and promoter of love my dearest friend, Jack! Whoever gloryfies love, gloryfies God and God gloryfies him! Divine! A seven for concern and content!

I definitely felt this one, because love does conquer all, and it's also a choice to act upon. Consequently, there are those who love with a glad at least half full, and there are those who love barely, on an empty tank.

You poem could have come off self-righteous and self-serving, but it was very eloquent, and respectful of the fact that this world is full of hurting people that need help, and the main way is so plainly stated: Love thy Neighbor Lastly, the first two lines were written in flawless iambic tetrameter as were others, and some in mixed meter. Jack....just sayin....lol Congrats on a well written but extremely meaningful piece. Thomas

What! There are boy Lady bugs, too? They're going to have to separate from the girls! More Lady Bugs and we'll be up to our eye balls! Gee... Jack... Encourage them much? I read EVERYONE your poems, but this one I'm keeping until the spring. That's when the Lady Bugs can go OUT SIDE and multiply! We're making separate bunk beds on opposite sides of the room. Can't tell the difference between the boys and girls, so have to trust them. RIGHT!... Just like I did my teenagers... We're lost!...LOL
