L-O-V-E

Love is a four letter word, A word that makes people act absurd, A thing that we want, A thing that we need, A thing we always take with greed. Love, that four letter word, I cry out, but go unheard, The thing I want most, The word we search for, a ghost. Love is a four letter word, A word that causes hurt, A word that causes pain, A word searched for in vain. Love, the four letter word, You cannot grasp or hold, A thing that may never be, But you'll find it in Him who is in me. Love, not just a four letter word, It is something we all search for.

Thank you for the encouragement! I posted one yesterday due to this and for hurricane Sandy people. I've been a bit off lately. This helped. Thanks :)

Lovely poem Savannah! Love how you've described love as a four letter word and then concluded that it is much more than just a four letter word. That in essence it is everything we yearn for. Nice! Very nice!
