Love Is as Close as You Choose It To Be

In the beginning there was Love, And when it comes, to the end, Love will be there, In all its glory, with forgiveness by its side, And Hate will find no existence in even a single memory. It is only in the middle years that we might think Love lost, Never to return. Oh, how foolish are those who disregard Love when it comes calling, To brighten their days. And give their hearts a less blackened appearance.

LOVE, is the most important, the most valuable commodity we hold in our hands and it is to be traded with knowledge and respect, with all that resides that is noble within our mind, then our heart. This poem, very beautiful and holding a power all on its own. Warm regards, Sydney, Australia a "Non-expert".

Thanks for that Heidi. I have just had a small booklet of my more spiritual poems printed as fundraiser for my local church. I also do readings on community radio and have been part of jazz and poetry afternoons at local bar. one day I might get published but for now all for free. It was a lucky day I stumbled across Poetry soup.
