Is it what you feel when in a passionate embrace
When a touch and word can bring a flush to face
Or is it the moment when at last you realize
That this little face really does have your eyes

When either one occurs no doubt there is a feeling
That although it does exist with what are we dealing
This emotion that is so undeniably strong
Yet sometimes we feel as if the mood is wrong

We cannot choose the one in which we believe
No more than we can chose the air that we breathe
We go with the flow and shower them with praise
Hoping to be reciprocated throughout all our days

To know the warmth and feel the comfort if indeed it’s real
Is worth the possible cost of nothing but misspent zeal
But to know the feeling and truly have it in your heart
Is what lifts us up from nature and truly sets us apart



Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney
