Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

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 –

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 30, 2021 at 9:15 PM 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 Joseph P. DiMino June 30, 2021 at 9:18 PM Hi Evelyn; thank you my friend. Have a beautiful evening. Blessings!

Rama Balasubramanian June 30, 2021 at 6:48 AM 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. Joseph P. DiMino June 30, 2021 at 7:12 AM Became a scholar...love that! Great writing! Thank you, Rama. Have a blessed day my friend!
