Love Is

Love is a Mother cradling her newborn babe It's an infant's gurgling and cooing Love is the tearful embrace of long-lost siblings It's the rescued miner's silent prayer of thanks Love is the flower you received so unexpectedly It's your lover asking for your hand tremblingly Love is the rainbow arching o'er the horizon It's a moonlit evening sailed on sky-blue seas Love is here, there, everywhere you seek her ~ It's found wherever you let her in July 10, 2018 Any July 2018 Poem - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Dear Heart a.k.a.

If I were a wise guy---perish the thought---I'd reply that your comment is much better than if you'd written: I love how you write about like... But then again, 'wisdom' if far beyond me. :) gw
