The Dividends

The wealth of my feelings, I invested
In your love

And

Dividends of happiness, since then I
Receive!

It seems I have met a wise investor. To many invest their lives in the pursuit of the unimportant.

My friend, Richard, you should have know by now that I would never invest in anything else but love: Love for my God and love for his creation! Thank you for your lovely visit. Appreciated!

To be quite franc, in the beginning I had written" I invested in love" but then I changed it to give the opportunity to the reader to specify the "Your" with his sweetheart or with God or...! Thank you so much for your gracious comment!

A wonderful investment and marvelous poem. To many people don't realize you need to invest your all into a marriage in order to reap the benefits. Beautiful example Demetrios

Thank you, Brenda, meine freundin, it is a pity that many people do not realize what you say when they are young! Love is a flower that one has to take care of it continuously and not from time to time, unfortunately, some get tired of the effort! Thank you again for your lovely comment and for your visit!

Thank you, Dr. Upma, for your kind visit and comment! In true love, I am certain you know it, one cannot be calculative! If it seems like that my verse it is only to make the point!
