       'I Have Lived and Known Love'

                                ~*Marge Tindal*~
        
                      'I have lived and known love'
               several times over to be sure
               enough to know that the feel of life
               is measured in treasure so pure~

                    Long enough to know that love
                writes melodies upon my soul
                       'I have lived and known love'
                abundant enough to keep with me
                when and until I grow old~

                      To know the riches of love
                   is to acknowledge the richness of life
                 Treasuring both a little more each day
                 as the sun-in-set claims the night
                 I savor this thought as my own
                          'I have lived and known love'
                           Never will I be alone~



***Karen? ... because***

Dear Marge

I am so glad that you know that you have lived and known love.  So many people don't know, even though they have.  You are an extremely strong person, as this poem shows in its undertones.  However, even strong people need to be loved.  There are 4 kinds of love as the Ancient Greeks and/or the Bible interpreted it, but agapĂ© is the most important, and there are many, many, many people who love you with an agapĂ© love and that love and your strength will carry you through the hard times.

Marge,

I could have sworn that I had written to tell you how touched I was when I read your poem.  Apparently, I wrote it in my mind and sent it via my heart.  I am touched.  This is among my favorites all time.

I come in to thank you all for the graciousness of your sweet replies~
Yes, oh yes ... love is known and
love is kept in the place where we can touch it most often ... our hearts~

You grace me with your love~
Thank you~
