Sam Kauffman Poet Sonnet

Love Language

Love Language

The words “I love you” seem strangers to your lips
Not falling with the ease of rain from Heaven’s eyes
Compliments share no home – seem eclipsed
Affirming words often lost in disguise.

Though my native tongue speaks affirming words
As gifts declare my loyal heart’s intent
They speak a foreign dialect in your world
To wander orphaned children – not evident.

Yet, your love language with bold voice expressed
In timely deeds of charity – work of your hands -
No request refused – no plea suppressed –
Love connects in touch we both understand.

Acts of service shout your love language scent
More than gifts or words I prize these - sweet incense.

There are five love languages:
Quality Time
Words of Encouragement or Affirmation
Touch
Gifts
Acts of Service

Joanna Daniel November 2, 2021 at 6:31 AM You sure are right, Sam, love language needs to be taught around the world:) Sam Kauffman November 2, 2021 at 10:51 AM Thank you Jo! The book on love languages was such a wonderful experience of discovery becoming an introduction to this world where love is articulated like a second language. It has opened the door to a new understanding of my family and friends. Sending you blessings!

Beryl Edmonds October 26, 2021 at 11:53 AM Love your poem “Love Language” Sam. Love speaks to everyone where’re they come from. Love doesn’t need words, love never hurts, loving deeds are the language of angels on earth… Blessings, Belle Sam Kauffman November 2, 2021 at 10:39 AM What a beautiful thought Belle, "loving deeds are the language of angels on earth." I so agree with you - love does speak, in its own way, to everyone on earth. Thank you for your lovely message. It touched my heart. Sending you heartfelt blessings!
