Love Is

Love is Love is as love grows It grows when you raise children Who laugh and cry It grows when you overlook a new flower To the beauty of crushed flowers In your memory book As if to recall what had budded In your youth But is still precious as it ages And sages Are confounded to perceive it’s presence But as each day passes You are bound by faith if by nothing else By the changing generations That define it Finally, love is simple so let us enjoy it Before we grow ancient And fail to remember because Love is as love grows Free verse on Love Contest Sponsored by Lara Loo July 9, 2017

Love is "simple" and "ancient" - love. Congrats, Ralph!

It's true, Ralph. Love is supposed to be simple but we humans have a way of making the simplest things difficult. Good luck my friend:)
