You know.......
It's funny sometimes,
How Love can make everything else seem so silly.
Why did I even worry about these things?
It just makes me want to laugh at it all.
I've never quite fully realized how much I actually care for my mother..
I bet I'd love you, too.
If I got to know you..
I bet I'd love you, too.
If only I'd ever get to know you..
I bet I'd love everyone if I befriended them all!!
If I were to stop and just think about it..
I've been such a fool in the past..
I suppose that's how childhood goes..

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

How wonderful when we realize what the feel of loving someone brings..what joy..how it makes the stresses seem smaller and less important. I love what you have said here.   LOL! I am, of course, someone who loves everyone! lol!

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since

(big huggssssssss) I feel we all learn from love when we're young! I feel as we all grow to be wiser, we then realize how important love is, and we then learn to understand the beauty of it! (smiles) Beautiful wisdom fills your words, I love it! (big hugggssssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joseph, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Love has so many meanings.  I'd like to share with you a revelation I got when I was pondering the meaning of Divine Love.
"To Love is to Allow"
(unimpeded growth)

So next time you're bothered by the question:
If God is Love or loves the world then why does he allow ------

Think about it.

Sounds like you are learning from your mistakes and that is what counts most.  Enjoyed this write.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

*giggling* my childhood lasted a pretty long time and I just kept making mistakes. *grin* Yes, you are right, if only we would get to know someone it would be easy to love them. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

this made me smile...
at the honesty and the maturity of its message...
we are always growing up and learning from our mistakes..its a never ending process...
seems like it is easier when we can look at ourselves and be able to laugh.
cool poem ES  

he said ... "dont cry" ...
said "it only hurts forever ... and all we have is time."
