Love Is the Beauty of the Soul

A COLLECTION Love is the smell of a newly mown lawn Or the gentle breeze on a summer's eve The clear blue sky with the occasional Puffy white cloud drifting lazily by Love is a baby's laughter as they're held tightly Against their mother's comforting breast Love is the cock-a-doodle-doo of a rooster Love is when the other person's happiness Is more important than your own Love is worth waiting for even if it takes a lifetime Love is music in its purest form Love is like a beautiful flower Watching it bloom into something wonderful Before your very eyes Love is blind, hard to find, difficult to get But impossible to forget What love is, nobody knows But what love is everybody feels Love is a sign from heaven That you are here for a reason Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds And warming your soul Love is walking in the rain And not noticing that it's raining Love is patient, love is kind, love never ends Love is the only thing you get more of By giving it away Love is a path to the heart that knows its own way Love is a feeling that puts winning the lottery to shame Love is the shortest distance between two hearts Love is like the wind in my hands So easy to feel but so hard to catch Love is everything... it's life itself Neverending, unconditional and never the same Love is the beauty of the soul © Jack Ellison 2014

You forgot to add 'Love and is reading your poetry after a day with the internet down'. Yesterday, Casey was in a SMALL fender bender in the rain. No one was hurt, But a policeman gave him a ticket for 'Causing an accident'. Honestly! He hit some water in a down pour and scraped his own bumper! He was going in the military in a few weeks, but can't till the ticket is resolved. The governmental body will take a month to process it! We've checked and no one can make the government go faster. LOL!

So easy to feel, so hard to catch. And like Jo.R. wrote, Love is the only thing you get more of by giving it away. I love it all but especially those lines.

I think that just about covers it, Jack. A couple of things I thought were particularly well versed, "What love is, nobody knows But what love is everybody feels" and, "Love is the only thing you get more of By giving it away". So, so true. Thanks, Jack.
