Love is the question philosophers ponder And a priceless fortune which humans squander It is selfless and selfish, caring and sharing Shy and reserved, bold and daring It's the tears of happiness and the heartache of sorrow Yesterday's dreams and the hope for tomorrow It's the quickening pulse at the mere thought of another The compassion one feels for the pain of a brother by Daniel Turner October 9 2016

Well Daniel, firstly, an excellent write my friend. To write love can be very simple but to write of love is very difficult. To express what Love is to you, you have done this very well my friend. Well, as always, a belated congratulations on your win in the contest. Keep letting your heart sing my friend, you do it so well. This has to be a seven.....Mike.

Hello Sir, What a delightful philosophy of love you have described here, just very very pleased to read this one. If I just talk about the rhyming, it is just outstanding. All people should understand this great meaning of love, as we live a in a world of hatred. So nice work for humanity. 7
