Susan, I really liked this, especially lines 2 and 3. I wish more people understood what love means and lived by it. Easy to say the word another thing to act and show it.

That is so true. Many think of it as something to get and not give. Or that it just happens and thrives or doesn't thrive on its own. Thank you. Glad you like it.

I thought how to grab love with only four letters? Then your last line delivered romantic love as though that line contained infinite letters for description. A GEM. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (Oh, I see you won a stinking contest (kidding) - congratulations!!)
