Hgarvey Daniel Esquire Poet Free verse

To Learn To Love

To learn to Love, You must practice
To practice Love, You must know Love
Not just a definition in a dictionary
Or the words You spew from Your mouth :
             I LOVE YOU GOD
To teach of Love, You must be taught    
The phenomenon of Everlasting LOVE :
Which will Forever remain in Your Heart;
The Heart the Lifeline of all Your senses
               I SEE YOU GOD
Everywhere YOU look You should see Love
Watching the sapling grow into a Mighty Oak
The sight of  Roses shaking off the tears of Dew
Seeing Your Beloved  walking in front of You
                  I HEAR MY GOD
Listen to the Opera of the songbirds at first Light
The quiet pitter-patter of a soft summer Rain
Hearing , harmonious voices rising from the Church
The sweet gentle sound of a young child’s Laughter
                      I SPEAK TO GOD
God reads the Poetic words the Soul inks upon paper
Silently we Pray our Thanksgivings and Heart’s desires
Singing Hymns, songs of  Praise, Hallelujahs ,Hallelujahs
 I Pray, Someday : To LEARN To LOVE

Madeleine Mclaughlin December 21, 2008 at 5:37 PM it's true, we have to learn, that's because it's so hard to love some people, but we do learn.
