If either of you are hurt < !signature-->can you sit and talk? Can you listen to each other? Can you see past the anger the hurt on both sides? Love is not just a 4 letter word it resembles bricks and cement and as you built you did so because you valued each other respected each other's opinions You didn't build just to share laughter but because you each felt that you could enjoy all you had to offer each other to be able to resolve all your problems Love isn't a word it's a feeling it's a way to say I'm listening I support you I'm here I understand I hurt Hold me and to hug however much you hurt to mend to give and keep on giving and finally to know that infinite sense of peace because love isn't a word it's about how you treat each other and in reality love as a word doesn't do the feeling justice because in today's world it's a throw-away 5 minute word... Although the thoughts are mine, the feelings are mine and I believe every single word I just said and always have done, I was really thinking about something that Marge said in another poem and this came out, so thought I'd share my thoughts on how I see "togetherness" or "love" .

Reminded me of that old saying, "love is not a noun, but a verb." (i'm hoping it's an ACTION verb! giggles...) Great Job! |

Just a real thinker, RainbowGirl~ If anything I wrote caused you to reach down deep for this one, then I'm complimented. It is truly lovely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I have a four letter word for this poem...AMEN! Beautifuuly said, Rainbow. Michael Love is more than just a word used too often, But too often love is just a used word. |
