Pressing lips
caressing fingertips
as love grows.

Church bells ring
words of love spoken.

Tears of joy
soft whispers
ten tiny fingers,toes
love grows.

Aging years
graying hair
and love grows.

Aching hearts
memories live
as love continues
to grow.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."

Albert Schweitzer,
Nobel Peace Prize Wi

Froggy,

   Such a sweet one you've written!  Yep, if it is love, it just keeps on growing rain or shine.
