Why Can't We Stop


      Do we all suffer from the same fate
          Be we individuals, nations, or life’s mates
               Why can’t we hit ‘pause,’ why can’t we stop
                    Are the laws of physics so completely true
                         That we can’t bring us to say ‘I love you’

I  enjoyed reading your powerful write. This says so much from the first line to the last line. Three magical words, "I love you." They need to be said daily... Have a Blessed Day Writing Away..............................

Sigh, I sometimes wonder the same, dear Gershon, why can't we all just stop, sigh and savournthe stillness as it breathes kindness and nothing else ... If only we could just drop the hatred and say those three words that would indeed make the world MAGICAL 💫💫 to even think of that jus makes my heart full with warmth.. the world would become a heaven. I adore how you've expressed everything! Thank you for sharing such kind sparkles here! And your thoughts! Sending you light always ~
