To Much Love Contest

The word Love has been tainted
I love your dress
I love your new fishing boat
I love that new color of paint

Mankind cannot love physical things
Love is heart felt for all Nature
Not mans creations
The answer lies in the heart

I love your eyes
I love your lips
I love all of you but,
I sure love those new shoes

The answer is we love things that,
Cannot love us back, this we have to stop
Love comes from the heart
Not from a store

Love is the answer but the question is
What do we love more?
Mans creations or people and nature?

Hi Bobby, why are people compelled to tell lies, is it a extremely complex individual, or one with a troubled childhood, or perhaps a matter of trying to keep up with the Jones's of this world, whatever the case, very sad people. A great write Bobby! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Bobby, I like your poem's phrasing and message. 'The answer is we love things that, Cannot love us back'. So well written with detailed advice in love. "The purpose of life is to amount to something and have it make some difference that you lived at all." Quote from Dear Abby (Abigail Van Buren).
