Love

There are so many different
Types of love in the world
Love is such an amazing gift
That we all should share
It can make you feel like you
Can beat anything that life
Will surely throw in your way..
Like you can fly through your day’s
Existence with a beat of your heart.
On a delicate feathery wing
Never touching the earth surface
         … however
There is the darkness it can cause
It can take away the will to move on
Right out of your soul with a
Simple swoop of its will
Leaving you to feel alone
And helpless against the hurt
That rages deep inside your heart
        … however
Every living thing longs for it
Needing it to survive in this cold world
Always yearning for the happiness
For the acceptance and fulfillment
It can so easily bring to their life
It is a simple, precious, confusing gift
That everyone has the right to receive.
And that everyone should always give.

rosepetals25....
                 What a wonderful poem this is!  I am fast becoming a fan of yours!
The very last two lines are so powerful in their message, yet easy to take in.
                  Very enjoyable.....


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

AMEN !

Giving is the key ...
Receiving is the magnified love returning.
It's such a wonderful circle.

Sunny - Thank you The last few lines are what gave me trouble.  But judging from your and Marge's response.. I figured them out ok. I'm glad you stopped in.

Marge - I agree with your setiments exactly.  To recieve love you have to give it.. and the rewards of that are simply amazing. Thank you for stopping in.
