Love

I`ll never understand why people throw love around like its nothin' I've watched the poorest person turn it into somethin' . What once was ugly and bitter was now full of soul, She filled the void till it was completely full. Nothing prevented her from standing her ground, In all her love is where she was profound. Anything that tore her down only built her back up, She knew the true meaning of true love. Anyone who doubted her was always ignored, She knew thats what the past was for. The only time she looked down was when she prayed, Prayed for this true love never to fade. The only time she cried was when they were tears of joy, Knowing the happiness has villed her void. This love made her proud, it made her strong, It did everything for her to move along. People were intimidated by such strong emotion, They did everything they could to stop her from motion. She never looked back, only to say goodbye, They not only waved but they surely asked why. Her simple reply was because its only her love that matters, Theres beauty in her even though shes shattered. The people were amazed so they opened their hearts, Welcomed their loved ones with wide open arms. They spread the joy like uncontrollable wildfire, Now it is only love in which everyone will desire. If only life could actually be like this today, There'd be no greed, there would be no hate. Nobody would have to suffer anymore, Everyone gets a house with a beautiful door. No more starving children dying, No more will our mothers be crying. Money wouldnt matter because everyone lives equally, No more media telling us whats beautiful and whats ugly. The world would be one big family like the creator intended, Our sins could be forgiven because our enemies we befriended. But if we learned to care just a little bit each day, We could make a difference in even the things we say. A simple smile could stretch as far as the stars, Its the good deeds that help us make it far. Learn to forgive, learn to forget, Live your life with no regrets. Tell your mother that you love her, Spend some time with your sister or your brother. Help your elders, no matter the race, Always put a smile on a childs face. But most importantly, learn to love yourself, Nobody can do that better, gauranteed, nobody else! By: Dorothy Dawn Robinson

Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words and hope to learn from other great poets! I am very new to all of this and never really shared my poems with anyone except close family members so I am hoping this will be a small step towards my dream and thats to inspire others to express themselves through poetry as well. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again =)
