Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

One Word Is Worth a Thousand Pictures

One word is worth a thousand pictures

Wait a minute, don't think I've got that right

BUT HEY! That works too if that one word is LOVE

It conjures up all sorts of heart warming scenarios

Love between parents and their children

Love of a Golden Retriever as she greets you at the door

Love of nature in all its grandeur

Love is waking up each morning to another sunshiny day

Love is a late night stroll on the beach

Love is THE one word that separates us from all other creatures

Love of all the joys and experiences life has to offer

Love is the be all and end all

The meaning of life on earth, the driving force

Our reason for being... everything else is superfluous

Without love, life has no meaning

Yes... one word is worth a thousand pictures!

Brenda Meier-Hans November 30, 2014 at 2:26 PM Soooooo very true Jack. It can also cause some pretty dark and sad words, but mostly just wonderful ones. 7 Jack Ellison November 30, 2014 at 2:31 PM "Love is the be all, end all!" Thank you dear Brenda! Love and hugs, Jack XXXX
