Love Is

Love is a mystery when we are in our youth, searching for answers, looking for truth. With hormones flowing we do our best to understand love; it becomes a quest. Love is passionate when we come of age. It becomes an obsession as hormones rage. Along with our lovers, we can’t get enough; we fail to realize that it is only lust. Love is strong when we take a wife to be our soulmate the rest of our life; to stand by our side and give us support even when life seems to come up short. Love is familiar with the friends that we make throughout our lives; it’s a give and take. We give them strength in times of need; They are there to assist and help us succeed. Love is comfortable as we grow old with our wife by our side to warm us when cold. Throughout our life on her we can depend; she’ll be there beside us when we reach the end. Love is eternal that comes from above. That’s what the bible tells us about God’s love. It is unconditional and forgiving of sins, He is there to love us when life begins.

You express and feel love very well John. You have a far better understanding of it than I do. Hugs, Emilia : )

Thank you, Emilia. Perhaps my understanding comes from many years of trial and error. I suspect I have many more years than you :) Hugs, John

Hi John, I really enjoyed your piece describing "love". Love really does evolve the way you said in this well written write. But I must say the last four lines sums up your poem very well. Well done. PS, I just recently started reading you and I must say I'm becoming a fan:-) Alexis

Hi Alexis, thank you so much; your kind comments really made my day! I have only been writing for about 5 months now and it is humbling to have someone who has been writing much longer say that. Thank you!
