Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose Poetry

Love

To say I Love You
is not an overstatement
nor an understatement -- 
it is a Sacred Statement;
no more profound in all
the universe.  To say I
Love you, is to say that
I see God in you.  I behold
in you the presence and
beauty of The Almighty. 
When said, know what
you are saying, the respect
and power you bestow on
another.  And yourself. 
To know love, is to become
Love.  It is our dearest practice
and ultimate destiny.

Gershon Wolf June 6, 2026 at 9:34 PM So beautifully expressed. Yor truth has wings, Joe. This is what Heaven hopes to see --- esp. as opposed to the shallow 'I love you' of modern man. ~ gw Joseph P.
