It always takes two
Lightening and rain
To create a spectacular thunder

It always takes two
To make a couple
And three to tear it asunder.

It always takes two,
A child and God
To teach an adult to pray.

It always takes two,
Morning and night
To create one whole day.

It always takes two
To start a fight
That then becomes a war.

It always takes two
Any two at all
To know what we're fighting for.

It always takes two
A reader and poet
To put magic in what we write

It always takes two
Just you and me
To do what we think is right.

Another well written masterpiece from one of my favorite writers.




 Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.

You're right, and I will do what I think is right *clapping*  beautiful poem!

there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

Very neat, very sweet.  This is one poem I will try to remember (in an already over-crowded mind.)  But may I gently disagree with only the last stanza -- to do what's right only takes one.

Another great piece  
This too needs to be put on top for all to see.
Thanx for sharing.
