What Is Love - What Is Love

What is love? What is love? ‘Tis a word often heard. “Unconditional love” oftentimes is absurd because there are many who seem so capricious. Tossed around is the word when their love’s fictitious! What is love? What is love? It’s a feeling and some may feel it, while some others - to love they are numb. Some say it and mean it; with actions they show it. Those numb to it though cannot know it or grow it. Love with passion or romance can fool us the most. It’s more like a sickness that’s been misdiagnosed. It’s all about pheromones or how someone looks. It gets exaggerated in poetry books. Love of country, of God; love of family too. These all are quite common, but are they really true? I think most sincerely that examples abound, and those with Agape in this world I have found. Love for friends and dear ones though imperfect it be is both practiced and felt by good folks constantly. One cannot deny the remarkable joy of holding one’s own newly born daughter or boy. What is love? What is love? Its proof lies with those who bring light to our lives. In their actions love shows. As God’s children, our potential we must believe. Loving others as ourselves, great peace we’ll receive! Feb. 7, 2021 for the Unseeking Seeker's What Is Love Poetry Contest
