Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

The Book of Love

I look
     at you
     and see
     my happiness
     and from
     your eyes
     words of 
     such tenderness
     each page we turn
     our hearts embrace
     this wondrous gift
     God's perfect Grace
     to live for love
     pray ne'er to cease
     to be as one
     Divined by peace.

Thanks for the lift Andrea, but I'm content with or without a placement. As long as I have friends that drop words of encouragement on me from time to time, I'm a happy guy...

Hi Charlie, what a wonderful piece of poetry you put before us. I peruse the poem over and over for i find peace within the words, love within the words. Your pen has grown greatly, now nurturing the gift you possess, bringing forth excellence in each piece you write. A beautiful piece Charlie. This has to be a seven and a fave. Your Friend always....Mike.
