Love

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love." Sophocles, Greek Poet How is the tender word love felt and seen, words have many meanings what does love mean? Love can always be heart warming and viewed, as we enjoy a meal with loving food. A funny laugh is a great attitude, it sure can turn around your day and mood. Love and kindness puts a stop to a feud, saying bad words and your mouth should be glued. All your friends and family should include, loving days with plenty of gratitude. Love can be great to set everyone free, this is uniquely for you and for me. No more weight now to bear we can just flee, let's fly free like a little yellow bee.

How lovely Paula. Some of your thoughts mimmick my own at times. I especially like your 2 lines which begin with, " A funny love is a great attitude.." My husband makes me laugh all the time and you're right, it does lighten the mood. We will have been married 26 years in May and I will surely share this with him. You're poem is funny, so sweet and true.
