A beautiful tribute to the sentiment that is the only feeling saving the universe, the one uniting force we can all count on always.

Ahh, your poem is really beautiful," love is the force transcending all others" Einstein may not agree with you, lol, but your poem sure was a joy to read and it sure is a really great poem, many congratulations on your wonderful 2nd position in my contest, good luck and have a really nice day

Thank you so much, Faraz, I greatly appreciate the placement. Actually, Einstein called life WITHOUT love a "void", and I personally believe, (from his many writings on the subject), that he felt it as the one force that can transcend time. Blessings, Friend! :-)
