Love

Looking for love may not succeed
Learning to love may help indeed
Letting love flow, may be the seed
Lift another by doing a loving deed
Love others first, take the lead
Lady or gent, please do not plead
Lasting love is drawn to a need

Such a lovely rhythm and message—every line builds on the idea that love is something we give, not chase. I really like the line ‘Lasting love is drawn to a need’—so true and quietly profound!

We do seem to love the ones that we are able to help in some way. Sara and I seem to make each other complete, to make each other better persons. Thanks for getting my poetry so well, Rowena. You seem to follow my train of thoughts well, my friend. Hugs, Bill p.s. I've been to the Philippines once, On my way to Udorn, Thailand in 1970 during the Vietnamese War. I was in the U.S. Air Force then and our plane landed there to refuel. Not much of a visit, but I was there. :-)

Love
