Love

I think love is the greatest thing – and few will disagree; and no need for gene splicing, genome sequencing in a lab to propagate – just good old fashioned love produces love: with gentle strokes of kindness; encouraging words, gestures and sweet nudges – I see love in the feline grooming her kittens; love in a bird protecting her nest at the cost of her life if necessary; love in the breast of a nurturing mother – in the supporting nature of a 24/7 wife; I see love in the sun, for when it shines things grow and ripen; I see love in the rain, for we quench and know, that love is alive and well – a short word, and as easy to give as spell; yet a world of evil can't kill it...for God on high, as man's saving grace supports and triumphantly wills it –

This beautiful verse says it all so well, and the last two lines are my favorites. Love does make the world go round, and without it, we are nothing. Blessings, Evelyn

Lovely poem on love. Love grows when given, it cannot be killed, reminded me of a couplet by an Indian poet. I learned many books but could not become a learned man. Then I learned to love and I became a scholar.
